Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended.... Only if....

...the home buyers were under contract by April 30th.

 

The extension passed by both the House and the Senate is expected to be signed by the President this week.  Since so many home buyers were scrambling to close by the deadline; June 30th; lenders and title attorneys were busy trying to meet the deadline.

 

Home buyers who now have a contract which was in place by April 30th, 2010 - have until September 30th to close.  While most all traditional sales may need a few extra days to close; those buyers working with short sales now have the rest of the summer to work with the banks to get the loans closed.

James, I'll bet there are a lot of buyers out there a little less pissed off at their agents for "getting them into" short sales!  This will be good news for a lot of buyers out there.

One more step forward on it.  Most everyone under contract by April 30th has closed by now.  The main ones who have not were either purchasing a short sale or using a niche loan product like a down payment assistance program.
