TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX CREDIT. IF YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME YET, PLEASE CALL ME SO I CAN HELP YOU FIND A HOME IN TIME SO YOU DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE TAX CREDIT.
TAX CREDIT FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS AND REPEAT HOME BUYERS
First time home buyers may be eligible to receive a maximum $8,000 tax credit through April 30, 2010. Current homeowners may be eligible for a credit up to $6,500. For current homeowners, as long as you have lived in your current home and it was used as your principal residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years, you are eligible for up to a $6,500 tax credit through April 30. For both tax credits, buyers must have a binding contract by April 30, and you must close by June 30. Income limits apply to these credits and you should check with your accountant to see if you qualify. So take advantage of these tax credits while they are still being offered! Prices are stabilizing and interest rates are still low. If you were on the fence about selling and want to downsize (or upsize), call me and I will give you a compliementary home price evaluation.
***ATTENTION MILITARY PERSONNEL*** The tax credit is extended an extra 12 months for military personnel. You have until April 30, 2011, to sign a binding contract and until June 30, 2011, to close the purchase. The extension is available to individuals or their spouses who serve on qualified official extended-duty service outside the country for at least 90 days between January 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010. In order to qualify, only one spouse needs to be overseas during that time frame. In addition to the extension, eligible members of the armed services, intelligence community or foreign service do not have to repay the credit if their home is sold or ceases to be a primary residence within the first three years as a result of orders sending them to a new duty station at least 50 miles away.

TRUTH IN LENDING LAWS REVISED: The Government has set new requirements for obtaining a mortgage, effective July 30, 2009. In summary, Lenders must give good faith estimates of mortgage loan costs within 3 business days after you apply for a loan. Lenders may not collect fees before the disclosure is provided, except to obtain a credit report, and closings may not take place until 7 days after you receive the disclosure. How does this affect you? It protects you and will add a few days to the closing process. Click here to read the entire Regulation Z from the Federal Register.
