Buyers have till 4/30/2010 to find a home and to go under contract ...... then purchase by 7/1/2010. So it would be in the home sellers best interest to have their home on the market now for those buyers to choose from.

PREPARING TO PURCHASE HOMES IN WINSTON SALEM AND TRIAD NC LOCATIONS
Buying a home is one of the most detailed and expensive transactions that most people do in their lifetime. Preparing yourself to be positioned correctly to achieve the goal is a key factor for a successful and rewarding experience.
There are definite "steps" that pave the way for home ownership, whether it's your first home or your last home you plan to buy. Here's the process:
FIRST on the list is to decide what you can afford to pay for your home. In general, you can afford a home equal in value between two and three times your gross income. Planning for short fall periods that will require some back up savings is wise. Minimizing all your short term debt, like credit card debt is smart to consider, because it takes bulk payments to rid yourself of the high interest rate loans such as these.
SECOND is to decide on a general location to begin your home searches. Think about the things you like to do for recreation, schools for your children, safety issues concerning traffic and crime. Research the areas chosen to take into consideration what city, county, and state governments have planned in those areas such as highway construction , or shopping center developments that may have an adverse change to your proposed neighborhoods.
THIRD, check up on your Credit Scores. Order your credit reports from the three reporting agencies. They are: Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. Go over your credit reports for accuracy and if you find any errors, get them corrected at once. Since a credit report tracks a history of your bad debts, any late payments and all other credit activity, it's vital that this report be a good as it can be. Getting a "FICO Credit Score" is what your mortgage lender will use to determine what mortgage you may or may not qualify for. Your "Score Power" is the key to the best interest rates and whether you can even obtain a mortgage.
FOURTH is scheduling a meeting, either by telephone or in person, with a reputable Mortgage Lender. This is a crucial step, unless you are paying cash for your home purchase. Before you even begin "Searching for a home to Purchase", you must know what Mortgage Loan you will qualify for. Sellers will not consider an "Offer to Purchase" without a "Pre-Approved Letter" from your Mortgage Lender, stating that you are financially able to purchase the home. Some things you will want to gather for your meeting are: W-2 forms, copies of at least one pay stub, account numbers, and copies of two to four months of bank or credit union statements.
FIFTH is to calculate the costs of home ownership. You should add up items like (1) Property Taxes, (2) Homeowners Insurance, (3) maintenance and utilities, and (4) Homeowners Association Dues (if applicable)
SIXTH is to contact a REALTOR® and preferably one that is an "Accredited Buyer's Agent" (ABR®) from the Real Estate Buyer's Agency Council of the National Association of REALTORS®.
