I talk with people weekly about the incentives given by the government to encourage people to buy homes.  So many are confused about the extension of the tax credit.  They seem to have much mis-information.  This credit is expiring soon so make your move today! Below is the current, and correct, information regarding the tax credit: How much is the credit?   For 1st-time buyers the credit is equal to 10 percent of the cost of the home up to a maximum of $8,000 (or $4,000 for a married individual filing separately). For longterm homeowners, the credit is equal to 10 percent of the purchase price up to $6,500 (or $3,250 for a married individual filing separately).  So keep this in mind as it is not a guaranteed $8,000. I helped a client get his CASH offer accepted on a short sale property...

The flag pole onsite at each location indicates the current ice conditions.  A red flag on the pole indicates that the ice conditions are poor and the rink is closed.  No flag indicates the rink is open.
