- 08/05/09 10:32 AM
Just a reminder for ALL Home Buyers and Sellers... In order to qualify for the government's $8,000 gift, in the form of a tax credit, the transaction must close by December 1, 2009.

It's still important that you have situational awareness of the credit, as it may be a key factor in facilitating the sale of your home. Wade on in... the water is fine.

- 07/20/09 12:12 PM
First Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit Can Now Help Cover Closing Costs The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has announced that HUD will allow "monetization" of the tax credit.
