How is the extended tax credit going to help you? San Antonio, Texas

Fence riding is not an Olympic sport????It's an opportunity knocking on the door..The tax credit was there to help with the first time home buyer looking for a chance to own a home and reap the rewards of home ownership. If you were waiting for a better time to buy, the boat has sailed! The is a second chance at the next best thing..The rates when you thought about buying a home last time (6 months ago) were at an all time low (mid to high 4's) now your in the mid to high 5% range. The tax credit is also there to help home owners who have owned homes for 5 years and more. This is a time for you to move up or down...

Knock, Knock???Do you you see the opportunity now?? These programs go and never come back. Why are you waiting?? The economy? The job market? There is so much that could stand in your way to buy a home. Buy like all things they pass. The housing market is starting to swing in the other direction. Look at it this way. Picture a big capital U. When the market was going down the opportunity to buy was at its greatest. Stocks were low. Home prices were low and there was folks buying...Now your at the bottom of that U and things are starting to look good. I have seen homes come on the market and noticed that they have more than one offer..The next part of definitely missing the boat is around the corner...That is the other side of the U or the "up swing" This is when the rates climb as they are now. Your saying to yourself "I'll wait the rates will come down if I don't buy" wrong attitude. The rates are going up because the quality of buyer is now taking advantage, more buyers more money!!!

Here is the thing. Your parents owned a home and have had there home for a while. They only know what they read..your friends are buying and they only know what they have done..
