You can find more information about what radon is, how radon occurs, why it is harmful, not least how you can make radon measurements in your own home. (Her finner du mer informasjon om hva radon er, hvordan radon oppstår, hvorfor det er helseskadelig og ikke minst hvordan du selv kan foreta radonmåling i ditt eget hjem.)

Re: Know the Ups and Downs of Replacement Windows

Brown Cole — Thu, 13 May 2010 00:20:13 -0000

Since I have been in the market for a new house, I have been told to do a lot of research on windows and since I live in Toronto, good windows are a must. Thank you for the informative post because I didn't even consider everything you mentioned.

I did find this great Toronto windows site that has a lot of different options to consider. I never thought that windows had a lot to do with energy, not until I saw this post. I'll surely keep that in mind.

Re: Tax Credit Discrimination?

davidwright000 — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 09:36:33 -0000

I just bought my first house. I was shopping for houses for a long time when my dad came to me and asked if I was interested in buying a house from him. I loved the house he had for sale and decided it was in my best interest to by a house where I know the history of it. I put a lot of my own time and money into the house over the past 4 years. By no means did he give me a break. I closed a few weeks ago and was looking into the homebuyer tax credit. I come to realize I did not qualify because I bought the house from a family member. If you ask me this is discrimination. I paid 57,000 for this house that was appraised at 60,000. I feel that I have been ripped off once again by the government.

Re: An Extension to the $8,000 Home Buyer Tax Credit?

I told you so...five months ago, (see below) I said, "It is not just the first time homebuyers who are needed to stimulate the housing market, investors are critical to this process". FHA now realizes (better late than never) how critical a role investors play in stimulating the housing market, they decided to place a one-year moratorium on its anti-flipping rule, which will allow buyers with FHA-backed loans to purchase homes that have been held for less than 90 days.

Re: Tax Credit Discrimination?

I live in Kentucky. My daughter and her husband are both paid on a commission basis. Therefore, they don't meet the 2-3 year employment guidelines required for secondary home mortgage financing. When they can qualify (probably in 2 years) the tax credit will not be available for them? This isn't fair for homebuyers in their situation. There is not a program available for them unless they have a 20% down payment (which they don't) and maybe then they'll be able to get approved for a higher interest loan at a local bank. They would like to buy now and take advantage of the low interest rates plus they want a home too!
Obviously if you're a millionaire you don't have to worry about getting assistance!

Re: An Extension to the $8,000 Home Buyer Tax Credit?

Toby — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:24:17 -0000

I believe the tax credit should be extended. I for one am a schoolteacher and am saving every penny I can just to afford a down payment. I am currently in the process of getting my credit cleaned up as well to a satisfactory score. But, it just doesnt seem fair that I have this one small open window in time to get ahouse, which isnt enough time for me, including the fact that I can't qualify for any teacher discount because I supposedly "Earn too MUCH!??????" Who says a schoolteacher earns too much to buy a home? I am single with no dependants and they say that I may never be able to get into a home unless I am married with dual income. Ok, so I am never getting married and having kids, I like to be myself, Where is my break?
