Want an extra $8,000? If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you’re in for a nice gift.
Last fall, the Federal Government introduced a financial incentive to prospective first-time homebuyers, an income tax credit of up to $7,500. The rules were simple: You must have been a first-time homebuyer, (as defined by not owning a home in the previous three years), and you met certain income restrictions.
The new $8,000 tax credit is available to those who buy between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009. It’s not a deduction, it’s an actual credit. Unlike Read the rest of this entry »

How to choose a Katy neighborhood? The choices are almost overwhelming. There are older neighborhoods with lovely established landscaping. Should you purchase a resale house? A house that needs updating or a recently built resale?

Let’s say you’ve decided on new construction. Now where? Again, the choices are many and varied. To keep your head from spinning, I’ve been featuring a series of articles that highlight new developments in the Katy area. This is Part Three of my Firethorne articles.

All Kelliwood subdivisions are named to celebrate Kelli, (see photo), the daughter of award-winning builder and developer Vincent Kickerillo. Kickerillo is the developer of all the Kelliwood sections and the primary builder. In some areas, he is the only builder.
Developed in the 1980’s and continuing even today, the large collection of subdivisions that make up Katy’s Kelliwood range in price from the $200,000’s to over $1 million. Having been under development for such a long time, the older sections have very established and stately landscaping such as the Kelliwood Section of Nottingham Country.
Kelliwood is south of I-10 and predominately feeds off of Fry Rd. It is made up of 13 different subdivisions. There are several very exclusive gated sections, including Lakes of Buckingham-Kelliwood, pictured above. Read the rest of this entry »
