As of this writing, California’s first-time home buyer tax credit expired effective midnight, August 15. That announcement came after the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) realized it had received more than enough applications to cover the $100 million allocated for eligible first-time home buyers. It is encouraging to learn that more than 33,000 Californians have taken advantage of this credit. When working with your buyers, keep in mind that the FTB will continue to accept applications for the state’s New Home Credit. As of this writing, the state had received 12,090 reservation requests and applications, which is expected to utilize nearly 80 percent of the $100 million allocated to this program. The FTB will stop accepting applications for that program once it determines it has received sufficient applications and requests. You can follow that tax credit’s status at http://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/New_Home_Credit.shtml. One tradition for me and many of your colleagues is your Association’s annual Tech Tuesday and CALIFORNIA REALTOR® EXPO. The event always presents top-line speakers and sessions, plus a chance to learn new business skills and technologies that will aid you in adapting to a market that is still in recovery mode. This year’s event, Oct. 5-7 at the Anaheim Convention Center, has been revamped, and if you’re a regular attendee, you’re in for a surprise: The content and the format are radically different. If you’ve never attended, plan to—you won’t be disappointed. Social media, millennial movers and shakers, cloud computing, and two new workshops, “speed dating” and a ReBar Camp, will take center stage. You can pick and choose sessions a la carté-style or choose one of our four educational tracks and stay in a designated lane during the event—your choice. This event is free, but registration is required. If you haven’t registered for CALIFORNIA REALTOR® EXPO 2010, take a few minutes to sign up today by visiting http://expo.car.org or calling toll-free (800) 242-2732. Tech Tuesday, which precedes CALIFORNIA REALTOR® EXPO, has a separate paid admission and offers a full day of technology training, will be held Oct. 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
