If you need to save money on relocation services, check out U-pack. ABF U-Pack has been in business for over 85 years. They offer several options for packing and moving, and charge you only for the storage space that you use. You can use their storage facilities prior to your move date to remove your belongings while selling your house. U-pack offers storage cubes, that are the size of a parking space, and tractor trailer containers.
These options save you time and money. You pack your items and they ship them. Not fussing with rented trucks and the hassle of driving the large vehicles across the country. ABF U-Pack’s “you pack, we drive” moving services are simple and efficient. They deliver the container to your home, you fill in up over three days time and they retrieve it. It works in reverse at your destination and you’re done!
Did you know that first-time home buyers (or those who have not owned in the last three years) can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit? If you have been thinking about moving, now is the time to get looking. Don’t wait, this Real Estate Stimulus requires that contracts be signed by the end of April.
Note: This is intended to provide an overview only – for specific information or individual concerns, please contact your lawyer, accountant and/or financial advisor.
The federal income tax credit for homebuyers has been extended and expanded to now include homeowners who wish to “move on” after 5 years of living in their current property, as well as first-time homebuyers.
First-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned in the last three years, can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit
Homeowners who have lived in a current home consecutively for 5 of the past 8 years can receive up to a $6,500 tax credit
There may be no future extensions, so all qualified homebuyers are urged to act and have a written, binding contract by April 30, 2010 (close by June 30, 2010)
Income limits are now $125,000 for singles, $225,000 for married couples with a $20,000 phase-out of the credit for both.
According to The National Association of Realtors News Release, dated 11/5/09, an estimated $22 billion has already been added to the general economy resulting from the bill and approximately 2 million people will utilize the tax credit in 2009.
