I hope they write a check, that's a tiny pig.
Pulte was pretty quick in spinning this FTHB tax credit last week and taking it a step further. The email states “At Pulte Homes, we believe that everybody deserves a jump-start on moving into a new home. That’s why we’re giving at least $7,500** in savings to ALL of our homebuyers!” The disclaimer states that this may be used as part of or in addition to existing offers, but $7500 alone is a nice chunk of change. If you read my post below on the tax credit, you won’t be surprised that I think this is a better deal than getting it from Uncle Sam!
I also want to give an extra point to Pulte for going after previous or current homeowners. In most cases, unless they have a home to sell, they’re easier to qualify for a loan. Notice it was only ONE point. A buyer with a home to sell might as well have the credit score of a teenager. Good luck.

- I think I see something… wait, guess not.
Being a part of the real estate industry over the past few years has been interesting to say the least, and continues to be on a daily basis. What I hope to accomplish through this blog is to bring to light the great things and the not-so great things about this downturn in the industry and more specifically, the Tampa Bay market. I plan to bring the knowledge and information of someone in the industry with a perspective from someone who is still trying to get his bearings on the future of the real estate industry locally and nationally.
With a focus on news, marketing, and advertising, my intent is to constructively criticize and analyze the strategies used by the companies that may be mentioned, and the news that will help shape the perception of the industry throughout the lifespan of this blog. I hope for those that read this site that they are able to take knowledge, information, and a fresh perspective on the real estate market in Tampa Bay as the industry goes through one of its most evolutionary periods.
Your comments and contributions are encouraged. Let’s have some fun.
