THANKSGIVING

It's been a tough year for conservative politics; it's also been difficult for Christians. And the new administration has made trouble for the real estate market. Should the health care bills now on the table in the house and the senate conclude with a government takeover of twenty percent of the nation's GDP, politics and the Church and real estate will all be negatively affected.

However, we can all be thankful during this thanksgiving season that there is a King of Kings presently reigning over all the nations of the earth; and He will not allow a competitor to His Kingship.

Here in late November 2009 we still have an abundance of everything. We've been immeasurably blessed. And for that we must be thankful. At www.johncmartin.com we will continue to work hard for our customers and pray for the future of our country.

NEW TAX CREDIT INFO

I've posted all the new information concerning the tax credit extension AND the new tax credit for present homeowners on my web site. It's just too extensive to put here on the blog. Please go to www.johncmartin.com and click on 'TAX CREDIT' on the left side of the page. And if you have any questions about it, email me or call me. TYLER TEXAS REAL ESTATE is ready when you are, and if you've had this kind of service before, welcome back!

TAX CREDIT EXTENSION?

It looks as if congress is going to extend the $8,000 first-time-homebuyers tax credit until April of 2010. So, you don't have to rush through the holidays with a contract and a closing and a move. You can wait a bit.

Secondly, the word is that there will be a homebuyers tax credit of $6,500 for those buyers who own, or have owned in the last three years. So everybody can get in on the "free" money. :)
