You Are NOT Going to DIE in this HOUSE

With less than 3 weeks for "First Time Home-Buyers" to MAKE SURE they are able to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit, it behooves me to share this video:

You Are NOT Going to DIE in this HOUSE!

In order to ensure they CLOSE on their new home before the deadline of December 1, 2009, "First Time Home-Buyers" must allow 45 to 60 days for the morgage process; which only allows for 3 to 5 weeks to find and secure a contract on their home!

So...why are so many buyers still sitting on the fence?

Many believe the government will extend the deadline based on rumor, inuendo and misinformation.
Many believe they can get a better deal by waiting until the last minute.
And many are SCARED to DEATH!

Truth is:

As it stands today, "First Time Home-Buyers" MUST CLOSE on their home BEFORE December 1, 2009!

By waiting, they risk not only losing out on the tax credit but losing out on the home of their dreams as well!

FEAR translates as False Expectations Appearing Real! To my knowledge, "Buying a Home" is NOT the leading cause of death for any demographic...

I'm seeing increased activity from serious buyers- they know it's do or die to get the government credit. The $8,000 will not be there after 12/1 so if you are interested in purchasing a home in the near future it would be a shame to make the mistake of missing this deadline.

We have about 58 days left here in the metro Detroit area. Still not much time left.

This seems like a great icentive for american buyers. I wish we had something like this in Canada

I'm telling everyone they have 30-40 days left to get under contract or they will miss out. Underwriting is simply taking too long and they will be slammed over the next few weeks.

I know I have one client, a young woman, we wrote on an reo over 4 weeks ago and they are saying the bank has not given them an answer yet.

Hi Jim~ This is a great deal for those buyers that are able to find a home that suits their needs. It isn't a good deal though if they panic or jump too quickly just to be able to get the tax credit. It is a big decision and I can appreciate the hesitation since I have a daughter that is experiencing this as we speak...

It looks like this is the "sweet spot" for buyers whether one is a first-time buyer or an investor.
