If you're familiar with the Annapolis MD area, you must have heard or read of the trials and tribulations of the Market House, on the dock in Annapolis MD. Defective or undersized HVAC, mismanagement, contract issues, vendors leaving, etc. It's been sitting with one vendor, Vaccarros, for quite some time. It looks like the Market House is finally making a comeback and residents and visitors to Annapolis MD couldn't be happier.

Without a doubt, the Market House is sitting on one of the prime pieces of Annapolis MD real estate. Right in front of the dock, right at the base of Ego Alley, in downtown Annapolis MD.

Whenever I was in Annapolis MD, I used to enjoy visiting the Market House for something to eat. Just a couple of years ago there were many vendor stalls you could visit. It wasn't the prettiest place around but the food was good, and reasonably priced. The view of the water was fantastic.

The Market House isn't completely back yet but it's on it's way. I stopped there today and found it pretty lively for a Monday in August.

The selection of vendors is growing and yes, you can get something to eat again. Yipee!

Yes, that's right, a full $8,000 tax credit for purchasing a house between 12/31/08 and 12/1/09. This is a full credit for 1st time home buyers, and doesn't have to be paid back, as long as you live in the house as your primary residence for three years. If you qualify, and it's not that hard, the government will send you a check for $8,000, for buying a home.

There are some restrictions but not that many for a government program. For example, the IRS states, "The amount of the credit begins to phase out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is more than $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers."

Another requirement, "They do not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their main home for 36 months after the purchase date."

You can read more from the IRS site directly at this link. Check here for a copy of the IRS tax form to fill out. Please make sure you review both of these with your accountant or tax attorney before committing to purchase a home, to verify you are eligible to receive the credit.

Considering the fact that it's a strong buyers market in the Annapolis MD real estate area, this $8,000 tax credit is just an added bonus.

Mortgage interest rates are very low, inventory is high and sellers are willing to negotiate some pretty good terms.

What are you waiting for. Call your agent today, or if you don't have an agent, I can help. This credit expires at the end of this year and there are currently no provisions to bring it back. Act now or miss a great opportunity.
