Energy-saving home improvements could cut your taxes.

Make energy efficiency changes in your home and you might be able to cut your 2009 tax bill at the same time.

The 2009 tax law signed in February expanded energy tax credits in order to encourage homeowners to make improvements that will make their homes more energy-efficient and save money over the long run.

Qualifying improvements – such as adding insulation, energy-efficient exterior windows, and energy-efficient heating and air conditioning systems – could cut your taxes. Previously the credit for energy improvements was 10% of the cost, with a $500 lifetime limit. The new law increases the credit to 30%, with a $1,500 limit.

The new law also eliminates the cap on the 30% tax credit for alternative energy equipment, such as solar water heaters and geothermal heat pumps installed in homes.

Global Bargains

This may be the best opportunity in decades to buy property abroad – for buyers with strong nerves and liquid capital.

The recession not only hit the US, but also internationally. Specific areas abroad for-instance in Spain, are hit by the global recession harder than others. Property prices from Barcelona to the Balearic Islands are expected to drop for more than 35 %. Russians and Saudi princes are leaving the Mediterranean, Marbella and Malaga and many exclusive homes are for sale. The economic downturn has left many home owners struggling to keep up with mortgage payments in dozens of European countries.

This recession is opening up a gold mine for well-funded property buyers and gradually enticing investors back into the real estate market. A strengthened Dollar, double-digit price declines and high inventory levels make a overseas purchase more affordable for Americans than ever.
