Time is running out for First Time Home Buyers in Goose Creek and the Charleston SC area to find a home and get it under contract, so there is plenty of time to close by Nov. 30th in order to be eligiblie for the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. With low home prices and low mortage rates, and plenty of homes in most areas and price ranges there is no better time than now to buy.
Thinking of buying a new home? Don't put it off any longer.
Jen Wielgus, phillyBurbs.com, August 26, 2009 - 
Procrastinators, it's time to wake up.
Those great deals and financial incentives you've been hearing about in the housing market are not going to be around forever.
According to USA Today's Sandra Block, mortgage interest rates are at a record low, and those rates aren't likely to last.
Block also writes that in order to take advantage of the $8,000 first-time home buyer's tax credit, which was part of the economic stimulus package, you must close on your new home by Dec. 1.
"That may seem like a long way away, but the wheels of real estate transactions grind slowly these days," Block writes.
It's important to note, though, that you won't receive the tax credit until after closing. For people like me who are concerned about making the down payment on a house, it's time to start researching loans. According to Block, "Some state housing finance agencies are offering bridge loans to home buyers who qualify for the credit."
Click here to visit the National Council of State Housing Agencies website and find out if your state falls under that umbrella. Happy house hunting!
