Holiday colors emerge
Poinsettias were introduced to the United States in 1828. The flowering plant, indigenous to Guatemala and Mexico, has now become one of the major symbols of the holiday season. The Aztecs derived a red dye from the crimson leaves of the plant. (The red leaves are not flower petals.) Later, the bright red plants were used by the Franciscans in Mexico to decorate churches at Christmas time.
December 12 is National Poinsettia Day!

Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended! Signed Into Law November 6, 2009
President Obama has signed legislation to extend the Homebuyer Tax Credit. Passage of the bill was widely anticipated to further spur economic recovery in the housing sector, as more buyers are now eligible for tax breaks under the new law. The $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit was originally set to expire on November 30.
In addition to offering the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, the new law also allows a $6,500 credit for repeat or move-up homebuyers who have lived in their primary residence for five years or more.
The tax credits are available to buyers who sign purchase agreements on a new or existing primary residence between December 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010. Buyers would have until June 30 to close on their new homes.

Request for Permanent Reversal of HVCC (Home Valuation Code of Conduct)
Although HVCC has good intentions, its flaws are severely hurting our housing industry, the consumer and our economy. Please read the petition and sign the petition to permanently reverse HVCC in order to lower costs to the consumer and to restore the thousands of real estate transactions stalled by this horribly misguided code.
Representatives Childers (D-MS) and Miller (R-CA) introduced legislation (H.R. 3044) requesting an 18 month moratorium on the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC). ThinkBigWorkSmall applauds the introduction of H.R. ...

Notification of Assessed Value
The County Assessor recently sent you a postcard with the January l, 2009 assessed value of your home. This value will be used to calculate your property tax due in December, 2009 and April, 2010.
Please look carefully at this assessed value and ask yourself if you could have sold your home last January for this amount. Because of the provisions of Proposition 13, most people will think they could have sold their home for more than the current assessed value. If you are among this majority, you need to take no further action.
If you think you would have had to accept less than the assessed value to sell your home last January, you should request an Assessor’s valuation review by August 15. You may request a review online at www.sccassessor.org/prop8.
You must have support for your valuation adjustment request. The usual support is a list of the sales prices of comparable properties during the three months before and after January l. An appraisal by a realtor familiar with your area can also be helpful. Carla Griffin does these appraisals for residents in The Villages.
Please remember that fair market value is always a range and there is no single correct valuation. Also, remember that the tax rate is a little over one percent (1%) of the valuation. Consequently, a $10,000 change in assessment will only reduce your taxes by a little over $100 for the year.
Would you like a property valuation? If you live in The Villages and would like an appraisal, please call 408.274.8766 before August 1 for your FREE property valuation.
