First Time Buyers....Time IS Running Out

Hi Ann, I'm also hoping that it will get extended but I haven't heard yet whether it will or not. It's been good for the first time homebuyer market here in the Ozarks.

Hi Ann, Thanks for that countdown clock. Our phones are ringing off the hook with first time homebuyers trying to get in on the tax credit.

Ann, tick, tick, tick. Every tick that goes by the close the time draws nearer to the end of an $8,000 free gift.

Ann: I hope buyers don't miss this opportunity by taking a chance that this credit might be extended. It might not so I hope they don't gamble. But I also hope it will be extended.

Hi Ann, That countdown clock is ticking down - since we don't have an extension yet, I sure wouldn't want to "wait and see" ! Have a great day, Ann!

Pat,

I have explained to my buyers over and over, if they are not closed on the 30th, they will lose out. And yes, there are some who will miss out.

Jason,

Of course she should not settle. She should take advantage if she finds what she likes. Have you tried expired listings?

Why do some people wait until the last minute? I have several buyers who are having trouble locating a home they like.....

Ann - Just a reminder - we have lofts in Lafayette Square that are eligible for the tax credit and have 100% seller financing that we can close in 48 hours from time of execution of the contract (including weekends) for those late buyers who haven't been reading your posts.
