Frisco Square Christmas Lights Begin Soon After the Turkey is Gone!

Stan & Ashley McDonald (Keller Williams Realty) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:28:39 -0600

Shortly after the turkey is put away and after a big day of football and shopping comes a highlight for Frisco and the surrounding area. The annual Christmas in the Square Holiday Lights begin this Friday evening, November 27 at 6 p.m. Frisco Square will remain lit nightly from 6-10:00 p.m. from November 27 through January 3.

The lights in Frisco Square are timed to Christmas music heard from your car radio. It is a truly amazing show!

If you and your family have never seen the lights in Frisco, make a point to do it soon... I can almost guarantee you will return several times before the end of the season.

Frisco Square will have periodic events throughout the Christmas season. Check back here frequently for updates.

Until then, have a TERRIFIC THANKSGIVING and please take time to think about what and who you are truly thankful for...and then tell the people that you thought of how much they mean to you.

If you are fortunate enough to spend the day with family, take in each moment and remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed, so make the most of today!

380 Corridor Food Drive - Residents of Frisco, McKinney, Little Elm, Prosper & Celina Turn Out Big to Help!

Stan & Ashley McDonald (Keller Williams Realty) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:44:05 -0600

Several churches from around the 380 Corridor (Frisco, McKinney, Little Elm, Prosper & Celina) came together this evening to organize and prepare to distribute food collected during the area's Thanksgiving food drive. It was great to see a FANTASTIC turn-out of volunteers...way more than expected and tons of energetic kiddos (of all ages)! It was a ton of fun with very few exploded bags of sugar, flour, busted potatoes, etc... :-)

I've got to give special props to my own daughter, Jessica. She enthusiastically insisted on following through with her personal plans to help despite having an ingrown toenail "fixed" at the doctor's office less than 2-hours prior. You make me PROUD, Peanut!!!

Now a Tax Rebate for Long-Time Home Owners!!!

Stan & Ashley McDonald (Keller Williams Realty) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:58:36 -0600

Not a First-Time Buyer, but Still Want a Rebate for Your Real Estate Puchase?...It's Your Turn Now!!!
Sell Your Current Home and Close on a Purchased Home Before April 30, 2010 for a Rebate!!!

Many Current Home Owners Now also Qualify for a Tax Rebate on their Real Estate Purchase.

Who Qualifies?

Current home owners purchasing a home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010, who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight.

What Properties are Eligible?

The Home Buyer Tax Credit may be applied to primary residences, including: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops.

How Much of a Rebate is Available to Me?

The maximum allowable credit for current homeowners is $6,500.

Each home buyer’s tax credit is determined by tow additional factors:

The price of the home.
The buyer's income.

Price

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, credit may only be awarded on homes purchased for $800,000 or less.

Buyer Income

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, which is effective on November 7, 2009, single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000—may receive the maximum tax credit.

If My Income Exceeds The Limits, Can I Still Get a Credit?

Yes, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit.

The credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and between $225,000 and $245,000 for home buyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Home buyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income—over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.

Can a Buyer Qualify with a Purchase that Closes After April 30, 2010?

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, as long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close.

Will the Rebate Need to be Reapaid?

No. The buyer does not need to repay the tax credit, if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during this three-year period, the full amount credit will be recouped on the sale.
