Susan Mekenney, Associate Broker in the Leesburg Pike office, was recently quoted in the Fairfax Times regarding the first time home buyers tax credit.
“It is a good program, and it is working,” said NVAR Board Chairman Susan Mekenney of RE/MAX Allegiance in Alexandria. “I would like to see it expanded to everyone. Realtors often tell me that the tax credit is encouraging first-time buyers,” along with the falling prices and interest rates.
The prospects for the extension look promising, she said, “and a lot of people are working on it.” They include the National Association of Realtors, which has launched a vigorous Congressional lobbying campaign. She warned, though, that the passage was far from a sure thing.
