Yet another reason Burlington rocks!

I stumbled upon this video that makes the case that Burlington is the fittest city in the country. Not hard to imagine actually! With our 4 distinct seasons there is no time to get bored with any one activity....just when you start to lose interest, the thermomether changes and forces you to pick a new sport or activity to keep you busy. I just love it. Right now I have not had enough skiing and snowshoeing with my girls (wife and two young daughters), but it looks like more snow is in the forecast :) Speaking of forecasts...I think the forecast for first time buyers in this market is amazing...Just the other day the stimulus package that was passed included an $8000.00 (Eight Thousand!) dollar TAX CREDIT for anyone that has not owned a home in 3 years or more. The key here is that it is a tax CREDIT, NOT a deduction. There is a huge difference. The credit means that you get to subtract $8000.00 from what you owe Uncle Sam when you file your federal taxes! If you don't owe $8000.00 then you would get a check in the mail for the difference. Wow, the government is giving you $8000.00 ! The credit goes down for single folks with incomes above $75,0000 or couples with incomes in excess of $150,000. I would be happy to answer any questions I can, or send you in the right direction if I do not know the answer- just call. Rates are still way low and there are many great homes to choose from.

Warm Regards,
David
