Update for Lakeland Florida Real Estate: First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Window Is Closing Soon

First-Time Homebuyers calling me are somewhat surprised when I tell them that there is really only a short time left to purchase a Lakeland home.

If you're planning on taking advantage of the existing $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit program, you should buy within the next six weeks.

This program is scheduled to expire November 30, 2009, and since the financing and closing process on a Lakeland home can take up to 60 days - you may miss the mark if you wait too much longer to sign a home purchase contract.

By my calculations, you have about 6 weeks left before you miss the opportunity of the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit window.
