Shea Homes Invites Prospective New Homeowners to Be Among the First to Claim $10,000 CA Tax Credit

April 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Shea Homes invites home shoppers to be among the first to claim a $10,000 tax credit from the state of California through the purchase of a new home in San Diego. One of the biggest builders in San Diego has attached and detached single-family homes now selling in 11 neighborhoods throughout the county.

Signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on March 25, the $100 million allocated for new home purchases becomes available starting May 1. Homes must close escrow before Dec. 31. The tax credit lasts only as long as the funds are available. For more information, visit a Shea Homes neighborhood and talk to a sales representative.

“We are urging prospective buyers that they should not wait until May to secure a home,” said Vanessa Linn, vice president of sales and marketing for Shea Homes. “Select your dream home today and reserve the tax credit starting May 1. Last year’s state tax credit lasted just a few months, so we are excited to start working with prospective buyers right away.”
