First Home Buyers Tax Credits Affects Union County Homes For Sale Under $200,000
In the areas of 10-1, 10-2 and 10-3- the Weddington-Waxhaw-Marvin-Wesley Chapel area, there were a total of 131 homes sold.
Assuming a “First home balance”* sales price of $230,000- , there were 58 first home buyers in 2009, or 44% of the market. This compares with 34 home sales a year earlier, suggesting a dominant role in first home buyers in 2009- the tax credits at work .
*First Home Balance” sales price is an assumption based on the reality that there is no way to determine in real time who is a first time home buyer- but we know it is some percentage of our market. The “balance” works this way: take a home sales price number and assume that the number of homes sold, that were Not first home buyers, is offset by the people Above the sales price who WERE first home buyers. So when we “balance” the price at $230,000 for statistical analysis, we aren’t saying all first home buyers bought below $230,0000 but that this quantity of sales is the balanced number we will uses to compare year to year, in this geographic area.
