Saratoga Senior Salvation-A Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Saratoga Buyers
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Lost in the hoopla about extending and expanding the “up to” $8,000 credit for new homebuyers is the credit for existing homeowners. In my opinion, this can be “Senior Salvation” - a tax credit for move-DOWN Saratoga buyers.
I called my broker, my local real estate board, the California Association of REALTORS®, and even the IRS to ask my question: does this credit apply for move-down buyers?
So far the answer is, “As long as they qualify and have a tax to apply the credit to, it looks like YES.”
To summarize:
1. A first time homebuyer is one that has not owned a home for at least three years.
2. A repeat homebuyer must have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
3. The maximum purchase price for the new home is $800,000.
4. If single, your earning maximum to qualify is $125,000; if married, it’s up to $250,000.
5. There's no gap between the prior deadline (November 30th) and the new credit period, which ends April 30th.
6. While you must be in a contract to purchase your new home on or before April 30th, you have until June 30th to close the transaction.
7. To prove you qualify, you'll need to attach proof of purchase to your tax return (most likely a HUD-1 or final closing statement).
Caveat: please, please check with your tax professional and attorney before making any real estate commitments.
However, this may finally be a tax credit that helps seniors who’ve lived in their homes for more than five consecutive years of the past eight.
For example, a senior couple selling a 1.5 million dollar single family home in Saratoga Lynbrook they’ve owned for the past 10 years, then buying a single-level 3 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.

And as the capital gains $500,000 tax-free credit is set to EXPIRE as of December 31, 2010, now is a huge window of opportunity for seniors seeking to maximize their benefits.

REMEMBER: Tax Credit and Unemployment Benefits Officially Extended & Expanded
The existing tax credit for first-time buyers, originally set to expire at the end of the month, has been extended, expanded and approved by the House, Senate and President Barack Obama.
The new measure benefits a larger group of potential home buyers. It allows both first-timers and existing homeowners to take advantage of thousands in the form of a tax credit. All properties must close by the end of April.
The measure would continue giving an $8,000 tax credit to first-time buyers. In addition, it provides a $6,500 tax break to qualified homeowners looking to move up to middle-market homes that cost no more than $800,000.
The legislation also significantly raises the qualifying income levels to $125,000 for individual income tax filers and to $225,000 for joint filers.

Finally, the bill would extend unemployment benefits 14 more weeks nationwide and 20 more weeks in California and other hard-hit states. That would give the long-term unemployed nearly two years' worth of benefits.

Ten Ways to Make A Difference Daily Even When You Have No Cash
Ten Ways to Make A Difference Daily Even When You Have No Cash
Did you know there are at least 10 ways to make a difference in the world daily—even when you have no cash? It’s true, easy, and can be done in less than 10 minutes each day.
One is to simply smile, and be sure to give your smiles away. Everyone needs encouragement. Besides, it makes you look younger.
Two through seven are clicking various websites to donate support. The way it works is generous corporate sponsors, such as The Nature Conservatory, Mercy Corps and the Helen Keller Foundation, will donate resources for every daily click.
Two thru Seven are clicking daily to generate monetary support from generous corporate sponsors for important causes
2. Click to feed the homeless animals
3. Click here to feed the hungry children of the world
4. Help provide mammograms to needy women
5. Provide life-saving vitamins, prosthetics, surgery, disease testing and vaccines to children
6. Help save a portion of the rain forest
7. Help teach children to read and love books.
I love this program. I've been telling people to view and click these six "sister" sites since 2005.
Number eight is to pray for these needs, the people giving and receiving them.
Nine is to sincerely thank at least one person each day, whether it's a family member, friend or stranger.
Number ten is easy – tell your friends! You can become a FaceBook fan of these sites, blog about them like I did, write a published newspaper article about them like I did, forward an email of this article, text message or simply call your friends. Like you, they’ll likely be grateful to know there are nine things they can do daily to make the world a better place.
Be sure to write these down, and make a commitment to repeat all nine steps daily.
YES! You can click these daily, but only once. (Insert smile emoticon here.)

Cupertino Schools Residents-Remember to Exercise Your Right to Vote Today!
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Whether you live in Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale or Los Altos, your property’s value benefits from being in the Fremont Union High School District (commonly referred to as “Cupertino Schools”). http://www.fuhsd.org
Today, Measure G is on the ballot. Below is a synopsis of the proposal. Basically, it is an extension of the existing parcel tax at the same amount of $98, which is set to expire, as well as an annual adjustment for inflation. The measure exempts homeowners who are seniors and/or disabled. Please remember to exercise your right to vote today!
NOVEMBER 3, 2009: MEASURE G
To provide stable, local funds needed to protect teaching positions, and assure that Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista High School students are prepared to successfully compete for college admission, shall the Fremont Union High School District replace its existing, expiring parcel tax with a tax at the same annual rate of $98 per parcel to be adjusted annually for inflation, with all funds benefitting local high schools, and offering an exemption to seniors and the disabled?
According to information for the 2007-2008 Fiscal Year from the California Dept of Education, following is some basic information on district funding dollars per student as compared to all of California as well as other nearby districts with high-performing academic scores.
Fremont Union High School District $9,255
Statewide Average for all High Schools $9,433
San Jose Unified $9,818
Los Gatos-Saratoga HS $11,264
Mountain View- Los Altos HS $12,699
