If you want to buy a home at Heritage Lake and you are hoping to get the up to $8000.00 federal tax credit you need to find your new home soon.  A person who has not owned a home for 3 years is considered a first time home buyer and may be eligilble to receive a tax credit for 10% of the price of the home up to $8000.00.  You must close on the home by December 1, 2009.  If you find that home in the next few weeks you could probably close by that date.  Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.  The credit does not have to be re-paid if you live in it for 3 years or more. The home may be priced at $75,000 and up.   Heritage Lake Indiana is a great place to start that home search.  We have some lovely homes available for purchase.  There are Heritage Lake waterfront homes in Indiana priced from $199,900 and up.  The homes not located directly on the waterfront range from $75,000 up to $299,900.  These homes have access to lakefront property set aside for property owners use.  There are docks for lease at the marina for $550/season.  You can have a lake home on the water or offshore and still enjoy this 320 Indiana lake.
