First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit A Good Thing

A $7,500 tax credit for first-time homebuyers that will expire July 1, 2009, must be repaid over 15 years -- making it, in effect, an interest free loan. A dedicated Web site,  www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com   “The tax credit is the best stimulative measure,” NAHB President Sandy Dunn said in a press release. “It will increase housing demand, get home buyers back into the marketplace and fight falling home prices, which threaten the economy as a whole.

As with everything there is a time limit. The house must be contracted between April 9,2008 and before July 1, 2009 to be  eligible.

My Biggest Pet Peeve with Blogs, newsletter etc.....

Everyone knows that the information highway is on the Internet via blogs, websites, email etc. So for all the information that is being disseminated why is everything written with such small type.

I am one of many who had been wearing eyeglasses ever since I was little and yes as I am aging, gracefully I hope, I am in the bifocal syndrome for reading.

So If ANYONE IS READING THIS BLOG and emails, blogs etc PLEASE MAKE THE FONT AT LEAST 12PT!!!

On behalf of all of us who wear glasses, are aging gracefully THANK YOU!

Just Listed Waterfront/view of Ocean Monmouth Beach, NJ

I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to market an oceanfront/view vacant land in Monmouth Beach.    

It is rather difficult to describe this land as waterfront or oceanfornt as in Monmouth Beach and Sea Bright you have ocean ave and then the sea wall before you hit the dunes and beach. It is all about the sun, sand, surf and you when living in this area as well as all the fine dining.

The lot is 110x130 in size and has all the CAFRA approvals needed to build which for our area and water location is extremely important. Also separately there are CAFRA approvals for an inground swimming pool.

The location of the property is among multi million dollar homes along Ocean Ave. They range from 1.8 million to $6.0 million currently on the market so you will be in good company.

Monmouth Beach is a very quaint sea side town with a little downtown area that has your post office, Wachovia bank, Andy K's local food market, Michael Angelos pizzaria and restaruant, The kitchen witch cafe and market, Ice cream parlor, Mike Duffy's fitness,The Spa, The Manicured Woman, Beach and Hair salon, Dry Cleaner and other spots that I am sure I am forgetting about. There is a beautiful catholic church at the end of Beach Road which is the downtown street.

So I am hoping that when you read about this litte town you may become intrigued about my lot and contact me regarding it.

Happy July 4th

My country,’ tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims’ pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom’s song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom’s holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

Words: Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895

Happy 4th of July!

The distinguished American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald (author of "The Great Gatsby") was a descendant of Francis Scott Key, who wrote our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner". Fitzgerald's little known first name? Francis.
John Hancock was President of the Second Continental Congress at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1737, and his large, bold signature is probably the most famous of them all.
