Move Up/Repeat Home Buyers - Don't Miss Out on the $6500 Tax Credit

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Madison

Move up/repeat home buyers, don't wait too long to find out about the $6500 Tax Credit.  The deadline to be under contract to purchase is April 30th, with a close date no later than June 30th.

 

This down market is wonderful for move up buyers because what you might lose on the sale of your existing home, you have the opportunity to more than make up for when you purchase a larger home. 

 

As an example, if your existing home had been worth $200,000 but is now worth $190,000 (5% reduction) you might lose $10,000 on the sale. 

 

If you buy a house that had been worth $400,000, and it is subject to the same 5% reduction you would pay $380,000; gaining $20,000 on the purchase and giving you a net gain of $10,000. 

 

If you qualify for the $6500 Tax Credit as well, that’s like $16,500 in your pocket!!

Karen - Great job highlighting the 6,500 tax credit for current home owners.  Everyone nows about the 8,000 for first time home buyers but not many know about this tax credit.
