How YOU can use the $8K Tax Credit
September 2, 2009 by Steve
There has been a lot of discussion (and use!) recently of the $8,000 tax credit the federal government is offering, but what is this tax credit really all about?
As part of the stimulus package the government is offering $8000 as a tax credit to first-time buyers. To qualify as a first-time buyer you (or your spouse, if you are married) must not have owned a home any time in the past three years. You must be planning to use the house you purchase as your primary residence. All single-family and attached homes (duplexes, condos, etc) qualify, as well as mobile homes, houseboats and new construction homes.
There are income limits for qualification: $75,000 for a single person or $150,000 for a married couple. And the actual terms of the credit are 10% of the purchase price of the home, up to $8000. All transactions have to be completed between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009. This is a true credit, meaning that it does not have to be repaid, unlike previous government incentives.
For more specific details you can go to the government website: http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/home.html. If you would like to use this credit, contact the Blu House Properties to look at condos today!

Our Neighborhood
July 29, 2009 by Steve
One of the best perks of living in the beautiful Avenue 23 condos is being located in the heart of Heritage Hill District. It is a perfect mix of residents ranging from families to college students. It is a quiet and peaceful community that is packed with stunning historic houses dating all the way back to the 1840’s. It is a neighborhood unlike any other, as it offers quaint surroundings while presenting immediate access to the downtown area. You can feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of downtown living while you are at home, and still be just a short walk from the most popular downtown destinations.
The Heritage Hill District is truly one of a kind as it is the first neighborhood of Grand Rapids; yet it remains one of the most popular and tranquil places to live. This welcoming community is a pleasure to live amongst as it is constantly making efforts to make the neighborhood a safer and better area. Avenue 23 offers you a unique opportunity to live in this quiet neighborhood while still having immediate entry to the heart of Downtown Grand Rapids, for prices starting at $70,000!
Avenue 23 is ready!

Avenue 23 is ready for summer!
Summer is here in Grand Rapids and the plants and flowers say that loud and clear. I am so happy every time I am at Avenue 23 with all of the landscaping, which has been updated. The landscaping is maintained every week with the upmost care, and it just complements the building so well.
If you have not come by yet, I suggest you take a minute on your drive home to pull in and see summer arriving at Avenue 23.
White Box, as is, and we build out: What is your flavor?
Every buyer looks for something different, and that is why at Avenue 23 we have left it wide open for all of our future buyers. Our units come in many different varieties:
As is- What you see is what you buy. At avenue 23 we go through and clear out the condo, move walls, add a new kitchen, and so much more; However, sometimes a buyer would like it “as is” for less money, and they do the work as they see fit. It is a great way to get a low price with very little up front cost.
White box- If you are a builder or designer and want to make a space your own without our help, than a white box unit could be perfect for you. With a white box unit, we go through, demo the condo, rebuild to drywall state, and you take over from there.
Build out- This is the most popular option! We have 3 units finished to choose from. They start at $70,000 and can reach to over $100,000. You work with our builder to pick out your selections, and we build the condo customized to your taste. Just let us know how we can help you get into an Avenue 23 Condominium in Downtown Grand Rapids.
