Owning a home offers a myriad benefits throughout the year, but some of the financial advantages of home ownership are most apparent at tax time.  As many of today’s hard-working American families are feeling a financial squeeze, the tax benefits that can come from owning a home can be a welcome relief.  A number of tax deductions and credits are still available for home owners; these include deductions (with specific limits) for mortgage interest and capital gains on home sales, and credits for certain energy-efficient home improvements. Even with these benefits, home owners pay 80-90 percent of all U.S. federal income taxes. It’s been suggested that many of today’s tax incentives for home ownership primarily benefit wealthy individuals, but that’s simply not true!  As today’s public debate continues about what home ownership means for families, communities, and the nation’s economy, there’s no question that for many, owning a home is still the best way to begin building...

Essex Homes has teamed up with a local financial institution to offer special financing options with only 5% down for the Villas at Brompton in Hamburg. “Take advantage of savings like never before,” stated Philip J. Nanula, president of Essex Homes. “We are offering an opportunity for you to purchase your new Essex Homes’ Villa with a 5% down payment, while providing assistance with mortgage insurance,” Nanula continued. When purchasing a home, if you put less than 20% down, you are required to pay mortgage insurance. In some cases, this can add more than $200 to your monthly payments. “Our new “5% Financing Program” gives our customers the ability to put only 5% down on their new Villa without adding the mortgage insurance to their monthly payment. It’s like having the best of both worlds,” Nanula continued. “Different things are important to different people so we have three options available to avoid paying your mortgage insurance monthly,” stated Nanula. Each scenario...
