What to do This Weekend
November 6, 2009
Usually in my Friday morning post I mention a few events happening around the Inland Empire. If you really want to enjoy a fun event, drive on up to Newberry Springs and attend the Pistachio Festival. It will be taking place from 9 a.m until 8 p.m. Saturday at the Newberry Springs Community Park on Newberry Road south of Interstate 40 in Newberry Springs. Admission is free. For more information you can call 559-322-9918 or on the Internet http://www.pistachiofestival.info/
However, this weekend is THE TIME to call a Realtor and start your house hunting project. In just about one hour, President Obama will be signing into law and extension of the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers. Added to this legislation is a $6,500 tax credit for existing homeowners who have owned and lived in their houses for at least five years. The extension will be available until April. Details will be posted at a later date.
These tax credits are wonderful benefits for those who fit the criteria. What with prices of housing at their lowest level in several years and interest rates below 5%, it s a great time to consider entering the real estate market.
Of course, after touring houses Saturday, you could treat yourself to a performance by the Redlands Symphony. Entitled "Horns of Plenty", the symphony will present a concert of music by Mozart, Hayden and Beethoven. The concert begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $16-$50.
