Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Georgia Association of REALTORS Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: Georgia's housing market is currently in crisis. Foreclosures are on the rise, home values continue to decline, communities struggle with the effects of vacant properties, families are losing the single largest investment of their lifetime, and buyers sit on the sideline afraid to purchase a home. The net effect of this process is devastating to Georgia families and the overall economy. TAKE ACTION and ask your legislators to support HB 261 and create a much needed Statewide Homebuyer Tax Credit. By offering a short-term, targeted incentive program in the form of a Homebuyer Tax Credit we can encourage Georgians to purchase homes, stimulate the housing sector, and in turn stimulate Georgia's struggling economy! This approach was successful in the 1970's and is the basis for the of the Isakson-Lieberman amendment adopted by the U.S. Senate last week. Your legislators holds the key to the success of this legislation. Before your clients will ever see a statewide tax credit, the legislature must pass and the Governor must sign HB 261. Let your Senator and Representative know the importance of moving this bill through the Legislature by TAKING ACTION NOW! If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
