APRIL 21, Nothing Special, but 10 Days left to Qualify for the $8,000 Tax Rebate

By
Real Estate Agent with Mapleridge Realty, CT 203-206-0754 REB.0759001

10 Days left to get a property under contract for First Time Home Buyers, and also for move up Buyers. The property will need to close by June 30 to still qualify for the credit!

Because the rebate has not given the housing industry and by trickle up the rest of the economy the much anticipated push needed, it's not likely to be extended yet another time.

Interest rates are still low.

There are still plenty of quality homes to pick from, and some great prices. There are also various programs out there to assist a first time buyer.

Income levels were also increased to allow the move-up buyers a chance to get the larger home they need.

Get moving before it's too late.

April 21st is nothing special?

I think we all know better. Don't we Ed?!!!

But your point is well taken. Buyers had better step up the pace if they want to qualify for the tax credit.

If not, anything they're looking at today will cost them 8 G's more if they don't get into contract by the end of the month.

Craig, so maybe there's something special. Dinner with the wife and the eldest grandson, (16) and I didn't have to pay.

Wanda, thanks for stopping, the smallest (15 months) grandson is crazy for balloons

Ed.. I don't understand.. my phones have just *died* an untimely death.. this week it has been so quiet you could hear a pin drop.  I hope this blog reminds those that are still sitting on the fence, that their time is ending to take advantage of this.

Valerie, I don't know what to say I still have interested buyers, and they don't appear to want to be rushed into a bad decision just for the sake of $8,000 of a rebate. That would not be a wise decision.

Time is running out. But to just buy because of an incentive and not get the right home isn't the smartest thing to do.

Ed, great reminder that if people don't get moving and miss this incentive, they truly may not be moving!  But your Remax Partners are correct, make sure it is the 'right' home!
