So far there's been no promise from the government to extend the first-time homebuyer tax credit, much less increase it as was earlier rumored.    If nothing is done, the deadline for the original credit is  still the end of November!

That means your home must CLOSE by December 1st.  Closed, done, completed.  Not under contract, not in process, but all the way done.

With loans currently taking around 45 days to complete, this means you'll need to be under contract on a home by mid-October, in order to close by the end of November.  

If you're picky, you'll want to be looking for a home by mid-September, yes - that's next month!  

We fully expect a minor-rush as we near the deadline for the credit.  This means more homes going faster and with multiple offers as you beat against some of your fellow first-timers to secure.  Already we're seeing certain price ranges getting multiple offers.   The last deal I put in was one of 6 offers, 2 went over-asking!  

So if you're looking to cash in on that tax credit, don't be waiting till the last minute.  Go ahead and get pre-qualified and start looking (with me of course!) so that you have time to get the home you want and close in time!

You can start your home search here at My Website ! or just catch me directly and let me know what you're looking for in a home.

Don't put this off any longer if you're wanting to get in on the tax credit!
