<p></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Not only is Wilsonville a great place to work and play, it&#8217;s a great place to learn, too: the town is known for it&#8217;s superior schools, libraries and earth-friendly initiatives, including a <a href="http://www.trimet.org/wes" target="_blank">public transit system</a>, a state-of-the-art water treatment facility and a comprehensive urban forestry plan.</p>
<p>Last but not least, the city is an exceptional place to live as well. Home to the award-winning <a href="http://www.villebois.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Villebois</span></a> neighborhood, residents living in Wilsonville <a href="http://www.wilsonvillespokesman.com/news/2009/November/17/Community/wilsonville.family.featured.in.family.circle.magazine/news.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">love their city.</span></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-615" style="margin: 10px;" title="Villebois" src="http://blog.costapacific.com/files/2009/11/villebois6-300x169.jpg" alt="Villebois" width="300" height="169" />Last week, President Obama signed legislation that extends and expands the first-time home buyer tax credit originally made </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #26382c; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN">available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The <a href="http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">new legislation</span></a> extends the $8,000 credit for <a href="http://homes.villebois.com/" target="_blank">first-time home buyers</a> for sales contracts entered into by April 30, 2010 and closed by June 30. In addition, the law has been expanded to now include a $6,500 credit for owners of existing homes who are buying a new principal residence. Current homeowners can claim the $6,500 tax credit if they lived in their home for five consecutive years out of the last eight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In other news, the income eligibility limits for the tax credit – now for both groups of buyers – has increased from $75,000 to $125,000 for individuals and from $150,000 to $225,000 for married couples. Additionally, the new law also provides relief to cash-strapped home builders by providing broader tax benefits for businesses with net operating losses (NOLs).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released a <a href="http://www.nahb.org/news_details.aspx?newsID=9962" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">statement</span></a> last week saying the new legislation will “provide a much-needed boost to the fragile housing market and economy”. In addition, NAHB estimates that the new and improved homebuyer tax credit will create 211,000 new jobs and generate 180,000 additional home sales over the next year. NAHB also expect the tax credit to generate $9.6 billion in wage income and $6.9 billion in federal, state and local taxes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This means that now – more than ever – is the perfect time to purchase a <a href="http://homes.villebois.com/" target="_blank">new home</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">And why not purchase that new home in the award-winning <a href="http://www.villebois.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Villebois Village Center</span></a> in Wilsonville, Oregon? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Villebois is the latest master-planned community to be developed by <a href="http://www.costapacific.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Costa Pacific Communities</span></a>.
