If you are trying to buy a home and have not been advised of the 2010 Home Buying Tax Credit then you may want to check with your real estate professional who is helping you with your search. The US Government has announced that the tax credit was extended until the end of February meaning that you need to have a contract in place and close by the end of June. This benefit is meant to help infuse the home buying sector with additional dollars and help those that are trying to sell their home. Basically the tax credit is targeted at new home buyers or those that have not owned a home in the last three years with a tax credit up to $8000.

It is estimated that for each medium priced home that is sold there is an additional $30-$40K added to the local economy.The housing market has a huge impact on the economy and as the Spring weather starts to roll around the housing market should start to realize an increase as people are looking to take advantage of historically low interest rates and additional bonuses and tax credits. I have read some reports that if the momentum continues to grow in the demand for homes then some builders will offer up their own “tax credit” savings to buyers in order to sell of inventory that has been sitting around for months.

The fight that will be one of the most watched in recent years is back on between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. This fight has been built up with a lot of hype between two top fighters and my money would be on Mayweather to take this fight in 4 rounds. As of this writing the fight may still be postponed yet again as Mayweather’s camp is pushing for random blood testing which Manny’s camp is still not thrilled about. It is thought that Floyd want’s one additional fight leading up to his title bought with Pacquiao. After watching some previous fights of Mayweather he has the power and speed to outlast and out punch Pacquiao. for those looking to get Mayweather fight tickets it may be a challenge because most of them are already sold and getting them online will be your best bet. Because of the events that have led up to this fight the fans are sure to line up to try and see history in the making. I would love to get ringside tickets and be at this fight because of all the hype and controversy that has been surrounding this fight. Once the fight is officially set then grab your seats and get ready for a monster fight that will hopefully bring all the passion and fireworks that led up to the actual fight.
