		<description><![CDATA[Houston Housing Market presents the first-time homebuyer federal tax credit in a easy to understand format using examples to assist in your understanding of how it affects you. As part of the “Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008” that was recently signed into law, Congress has created a new, temporary federal income tax credit to provide an incentive for first-time homebuyers. This is very good news for first time home buyers, in the Houston homes market, as it gives them a chance to join the home owner’s ranks without totally depleting their savings. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people in the Houston Metro Area have heard that buying a foreclosure can provide you with a fantastic deal on a home.  What most have not heard is that it can just as easily cause you to go broke.  These scenarios are equally common in the Houston Housing Market.  Many of the homes in Houston that we are seeing go through the foreclosure stage are being torn up by the owners just before they are forced out.  Legally the lender has no way to stop it.  This is because there are no laws that prevent someone from damaging their own home. Until the home has gone through the entire foreclosure process, it still belongs to the individual who is in default (the act of not complying with the loan terms). 
In this blog post, we will discuss the steps a Houston Homes buyer must go through to assure that they do not end up paying more than the home is worth after the necessary repairs are completed.
