The Government Will Pay You to Buy A Home

Many of you may be aware of the benefits that the state of Tennessee pays to first time home buyers. Were you also aware that the federal government will pay you $7,500 to buy a home? If you bought a home in 2008 and have not filed your federal taxes, you can luckily increase your deductions by $7,500. Or, if you are owed a refund, the government may add an additional $7,500 to your check.
But there is even better news for those of you that have not yet bought a home. Congress is considering increasing the tax credit to $15,000!

The $7,500 tax credit is available to singles, married couples filing jointly and unmarried buyers, as long as they haven’t owned a home in the past three years. If one person meets the requirement and one doesn’t, then you get $3,750.

This tax credit doesn’t apply towards investment properties, second homes or vacation homes, and if you buy the home from a relative, it will not qualify. Additionally, earning more than $95,000 as a single tax filer, or $170,000 as a married joint filer, may reduced the credit amount.

Green Hills Real Estate

Green Hills is an upscale shopper’s delight in Nashville. This historic neighborhood features expansive ranch style dwellings, spacious single family homes, lovely English country design houses, town homes, and condominiums. Green Hills offers spectacular amenities such as high ranking schools, a reputable university (Lipscomb University), a magnificent, high-end shopping mall (The Mall at Green Hills), a village- style shopping complex (Hill Center), a fantastic antique mall, and an exceptional library. Nashville is graced with a strong economy and provides career opportunities with high tech industries, retail businesses, banking firms, transportation companies, and manufacturing industries.

Green Hills is a relatively affluent neighborhood in Nashville. Though there were some plans to incorporate Green Hills into a town in the 1950′s, this was never completed. Green Hills is located south of downtown Nashville on Hillsboro Road (U.S. Highway 431). Home to The Mall at Green Hills, a high-end enclosed shopping center, and Hill Center, a village-style shopping center, Green Hills is Nashville’s shopping destination.

Hillsboro High School, located directly across the highway from the Mall, actually predates much of the neighborhood, which began on a small scale in the 1930s but was not highly populated until after World War II. Another public educational institution is Julia Green Elementary School, a primary school. A major private educational institution is Lipscomb University and its associated elementary and high schools. Another is Harpeth Hall School, a prestigious girls’ high school.
