		<title>President Obama signed the tax credit extension!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First Time Homebuyers
The current law is extended until April 30, 2010. Buyers have until that date to have a signed purchase agreement. There is an additional 60 day grace period to complete the financing. More first time homebuyers are eligible because the new law raises the annual income limits from $75,000 to $125,000 for singles [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=163&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) &#8212; Use any metaphor you want: the ticking clock, sands running through the hourglass or pages falling away from the calendar. The fact is, time is running out to claim the $8,000 first-time homebuyers tax credit.
Passed earlier this year as part of the economic stimulus package, the credit is good for up [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=159&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Do you know what you are buying?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Real-estate contracts have grown lengthier. And new potential problems — such as your home turning out to be a former meth lab — have emerged. As a result, many home buyers and sellers may not have all the information they need to make sure their rights are protected, says Adam Morrow, a lawyer and real-estate [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=146&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The number of closed sales of single-family homes in King County in June was up 4 percent over June 2008 — the first year-over-year increase since the market peaked nearly two years ago, the Northwest Multiple Listing Service said Monday.
The county hasn&#8217;t recorded that many sales in a month since October 2007.
The statistics also suggest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=144&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How is the market?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most bearish of Wall Street economic analysts have made the same point for the past 18 months. There&#8217;s no recovery or rebound in the housing market, they said, until home builders start building again.
&#8220;Show us positive numbers on new home starts for a few months,&#8221; they say, &#8220;and then we will we agree that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=138&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A little bit of good news in Seattle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If the Seattle residential real-estate market is coming back to life — and that&#8217;s still a big if, despite a relatively upbeat monthly report Tuesday — it&#8217;s because of people like Lori Gifford.  She and her fiancé, Scott Brush Goodwin, bought their first house last month. It&#8217;s a two-bedroom, one-bath former rental in the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=133&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February 17,2009 2pm
The $790 billion stimulus package signed by President Obama today increases the home buyer tax credit to $8,000, drops the repayment feature, reinstates last year&#8217;s 2008 loan limits for FHA, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae loans, and provides $2 billion in additional funding for states and localities to be used to purchase, manage, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=130&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Looking for accessibility, affordability and diversity?  That defines the sometimes-overlooked, historically blue-collar South Beacon Hill neighborhood, where buyers can find a home in good condition for $350,000-$450,000, minutes from downtown Seattle.  &#8220;We don&#8217;t have to listen to the traffic reports on the radio, since we can get downtown without using the freeway&#8221; says [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinaleong.wordpress.com&blog=516817&post=125&subd=christinaleong&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
