Tax Credit extension!

June 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Wednesday to give homebuyers another three months to settle on their contracts and take advantage of a popular tax credit that sparked a rush of activity in the housing market.

The Senate, with a vote of 60-37, accepted an amendment by Democratic Leader Harry Reid that extends the closing deadline to Sept. 30 for buyers who met the April 30 deadline to have a signed contract.

The current deadline requires buyers to close by June 30 to get the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Existing homeowners buying a new primary residence are eligible for a $6,500 credit.

Reid offered the measure as an amendment to a bill that would extend some popular business tax breaks and extend unemployment insurance benefits for jobless workers.
The proposal would not have a significant impact on future home sales as the extension would be only for home buyers who already had a contract in hand by April 30.

The popularity of the tax credit has caused some anxiety because settlement offices are inundated with buyers trying to close on transactions by the end of this month to get the tax break. (Reporting by Donna Smith; Editing by John O'Callaghan)

Zeder Team in Wall St. Journal.com (WSJ.com)

the Zeder Team was featured today in the online article WSJ.com Luxury Sales Bounce Bank.

The article reviews values in a few markets, including Miami. The article also points out that the Miami market's average home sales have flattened rather than declined in the past six months. The publication featured a home that The Zeder Team has under contract at 13200 Old Cutler Rd. in Pinecrest, FL. The following is an excerpt:

"The six bedroom home in Pinecrest, FL was originally listed for 2.95 million in 2009. A series of pricecuts made the most recent asking price $2.15 million, a nearly 30% discount. The home is now in contract for close to, but under the asking price. Judy Zeder with EWM Realtors is on both sides of the deal."

Snapper Creek Home For Sale becomes Senator's Mansion in TV show Burn Notice

An elegant, traditional home, in the exclusive gated community of Snapper Creek Lakes, recently became the backdrop for a run-in with a crooked senator (played by Burt Reynolds), the Russian mob, and the covert operatives of the Burn Notice cast.

The home at 10950 Snapper Creek Rd, is currently for sale and listed by The Zeder Team at EWM. It was selected to be a senator’s home for its imposing lines and gracious street presence. The two-day shoot, which wrapped last Friday, culminated in an explosive gunfight Hollywood-style.

During filming and unaware he was addressing the homeowner Michael Green, Burt Reynolds asked, “How do you like my house?” Seeing that Reynolds didn’t know he was talking the owner, Green replied, “I like it so much that I’d like for you to help me with the mortgage! Or perhaps you’d like to buy it?”
