Dear Massachusetts First Time Home Buyers:

So you were thinking last year "maybe I should look into buying a home now."  But you waited.  You knew they'd end up extending the first time home buyer tax credit anyway so you could wait. 

It's a new year.  The holidays are over, we're in a deep winter freeze in Massachusetts, and Spring sounds really really good right now!

Spring also means an end to that first time home buyer tax credit extension!

So here's what I'm writing to tell you:

You need to be under agreement on a home by 4/30 and close by 6/30 to get the 8K tax credit. 

What is a tax credit you ask?  A tax credit reduces the amount of taxes you owe. Click here for FAQs about the tax credit.  You get a credit of 10% of the purchase price up to 8K.

If you're wondering if buying at this time is right for you, give me a call and we can talk about it.  I don't want anyone to miss out and wonder later on if maybe they should have at least talked to someone about buying a home.

All my best,

Erin
