I was pleased to find that there are companies out there who not only put together great home plans for the purpose but have now embraced going Green. I found multiple sites that are now dedicated to green homes and discovered that they are serious about making luxury and yet energy efficient homes. I found that many sites are dedicating entire sections to Green Homes and a page for their “Featured Green Home Plan.” Most of the ones that we saw were serious about using the Sun and great materials to reach their goals of their house plans being green for the purpose of Green Homes. Couple that with some energy efficient lamps and heating system and you decrease your overall carbon footprint.

When looking for a log home plans I found a variety of styles that could meet our requirements be it a outdoor getaway or a large family home. If you are looking for a luxury home plan I think you will be very pleased to see the detail they put into a dream home for contemporary or traditional homes. I felt I was back in college in Washington with a few of their plans! Just stunning. Plus you can find some great offers for various energy star lighting at site like Lightingtheweb.com. So just give me a big house, but I would like it on a large piece of land. I would like to have a big yard or pasture that you could see associated with my house. I think a lake makes any home look so much better. So my dream would be a log cabin located on at least 10 acres of land, with a good size lake on the property and an area of the yard that a lawn mower would have to keep cut or my cows and horses would graze through. I don’t have any plans soon to have this dream home, but maybe before I get too old and gray, I will have the chance to live on a piece of land like this.

home taxIf you are like thousands of homeowners you may be wondering does the extended tax credit apply to me? I was able to look at a simple and easy to understand video on the subject and it really helped to clarify if I was eligible. Unfortunately since we just moved just over three years ago we do not qualify but there are thousands of home owners or first time home buyers who can take advantage of this tax credit while enjoying some of the best mortgage rates in over 40 years. The Real Estate Tax Benefit has two components that allow first time home buyers or those looking to upgrade their homes a chance to receive anywhere between $6500 to $8000 in tax credits. The key is that you must have a written contract in place by April 30, 2010 and closed on your home by June 30, 2010.

This and other stimulus are helping to keep one of the biggest financial components of our economy headed in the right direction. You can consult with your realtor about whether you qualify for the 2010 home buyers tax credit if you are in the market for buying a new home. Now is the best time to purchase a new home because there is large inventory and motivated sellers who are looking to move or get out from under their current home.

funny_foreclosures This will eventually mean business for Phoenix heating and air companies to come in and replace the units and even having to repair the duct work that might have been destroyed. People who they have caught are blaming the banks for lending them more money than they were qualified during the economic boom.
Companies like Air Conditioning by Jay which is a Phoenix heating and air specialist have a team of experts to help home buyers that run into these stripped down homes regain their original cooling and heating systems. Jays comfort team is also a leader in Scottsdale heating and air systems with close to 11,000 customers that they have served in both new construction and remodels. Serving the great Scottsdale area since 1983 they have built their reputation on service and quality. While people may be trying to get back at the banks for foreclosing on their loans eventually someone will have to pay for the repairs that need to take place and that can only mean increased costs for everyone.
