This is one of my favorite times of the year. Spring is a time of bounty and endless possibilities. It's the time of year when we enjoy some of the most wonderful of holidays and of course it's the time of year when I start my vegetable garden.

The Senate recently passed a bill allowing a $15,000 tax credit (actually an increase from the existing $7,500 tax credit) to home buyers that purchase a home in 2009. This bill was passed in an effort to jump-start the real estate market. Passage of this bill is seen as a victory for Republicans eager to leave their mark on the mammoth economic stimulus bill at the heart of President Barack Obama's recovery plan. The tax break was adopted without dissent.
kson, R-Ga., who advanced the home buyers tax break bill, said it was intended to help revive the housing industry, which has virtually collapsed in the wake of a credit crisis that began last fall. The proposal would allow a tax credit of 10 percent of the value of new or existing residences, up to a $15,000 limit. Current law provides for a $7,500 tax break for the purchase of new homes only. Isakson's office said the proposal would cost the government an estimated $19 billion. You can click here to view the actual bill.

In response many home owners are opting to list their homes for lease. These homeowners would prefer to lease their home rather than sell at the reduced prices the market now dictates. As you can see from the chart below however, many home owners have the same idea as evidenced by the growing number of lease listings coming on the market. Not surprisingly, the increasing inventory of lease listings is creating apathy among prospective tenants. Like homes sold, the number of homes being leased over the last half of 2008 has declined which is bound to create downward pressure on lease prices as well.
