First-time home buyer credit nears the deadline...the "Money Clock is Ticking!" Buy a house this weekend! It's not too late!! One of my favorite things to do is helping 1st time home buyers. Their excitement is so high and they are eager to jump in and begin their new life. Reference my blog: http://activerain.com/allhomes4you

Puget Sound Business Journal ( Seattle ) - Kansas City , Mo. Business Journal

This article was sent to me by Jary Martinson, Branch Manager & Mortgage Banker at Life Mortgage. jmartinson@lifemort.com, www.lifemort.com

The clock is ticking for first-time home buyers wanting to take advantage of the 10 percent tax credit made available through the federal economic-stimulus act passed earlier this year.

The credits are available for purchases finalized through Nov. 30. But Tom Krattli, president of Kansas City, Mo.-based Plaza Mortgage Services, said he feared many first-time home buyers haven't got the message that they need to close on their mortgage loans by Nov. 30 to qualify for the credit. The 10 percent credit is good for a maximum of $8,000, regardless of how much federal tax liability the buyer has. It is not a loan that must be repaid, as was a similar first-time buyer credit that preceded it.

"There's going to be a lot of upset people," Krattli said. "If you're under contract by Oct. 15, you should be OK. But you can't have any major glitches along the way. And if you get much past Oct. 19 (to put a home under contract), in my opinion, you're right at the edge."

That's because it typically takes 30 to 45 days from the contract date to close on a home. During that time, inspections must be conducted, and the mortgage company must complete an appraisal, Krattli said.

Other factors compounding the need for first-time buyers to put a home under contract soon are that mortgage lenders are expected to be besieged with a last-minute rush of closings and that Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 26, taking that date through Nov. 29 out of the equation for closings. Nov. 30 falls on a Monday this year.

"Obviously, the worst thing that could happen is someone thinking they're going to get the tax credit, and for some reason it's impossible to close by Nov. 30, and they buy the home and don't get the credit," Krattli said.

He said first-time buyers could make their contracts contingent on getting the credit, but in reality few buyers are doing so.

For those who miss the deadline, there is hope of an extension. U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., has submitted a bill that would extend the existing tax credit - good for the lesser of $8,000 or 10 percent of a purchased home's value - through June 1.

A second bill filed by Biggert would raise the maximum amount of the credit to $15,000, extend it to include non-first-time buyers and eliminate restrictions that exclude individual buyers earning $75,000 or more annually and couples earning more than $150,000.

The cost of both bills would be offset by recapturing unspent dollars authorized by the economic stimulus act.
