"CAVUTO"

I
spoke on April 29th with Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business
show "CAVUTO" about the expiration of the
tax credit. I went on the record saying that the tax
credit was necessary to get buyers off the fence at
a time there was so much fear in the marketplace.
The tax credit targeted low-end housing (where the
most distressed appeared) and first-time home buyers.
At one point 50 percent of the buyers (nationwide)
were first-time buyers so this tax credit did appear
to stimulate housing. Latest reports now show that
investors were responsible for 19 percent of the transactions
in March. It is safe to say that many of these investors
were not motivated by the tax credit or interest rates
since a large number purchased with all cash. I stressed
that it is the price that has brought investors and
buyers back into the marketplace: therefore, we do
not to give a tax credit when buyers are now buying
in all price ranges because of attractive prices that
exist today. |
