ePlace News for July
Real Estate and Taxes
For those of you who might have missed this earlier, we’ve put together some info on the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit. There has also been a lot of talk at our workshops lately about the mortgage interest tax deduction and the tax exemption on the sale of a primary residence. We’ll talk more about these at the Real Estate Investing Workshop on Wednesday July 15th and of course at the Savvy Home Buyer Workshop on August 5th (see below).
Market Update
The Cambridge condo market remains strong. In June, the number of condos going under agreement exceeded that of the same month in 2004, 2006, and 2008. For those of you who are interested in longer-term (10-year) stats for Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, and Massachusetts, check out this data.
