Whew that was close, just when you thought you blew it by missing the deadline to buy a house and get $8000 the government comes to the rescue.
If you haven't heard yet, the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit has been extended to April 30th 2010. So that give you a new 6 month lease on life. So are you ready this time?
Have you been sitting on the sidelines wanting to sell your house and move up to a bigger, better home? Have you been waiting for the right time or the market to recover? Well, Congress just opened the door to your new home for you.
If you live in Johnson County KS and have lived in your home for the last five years or more, you may qualify for the new $6,500 Move Up Home Buyer tax credit. That's right, if you sell you home and purchase a new home between December 1st 2009 and April 30th 2010 you will get $6,500 tax rebate from the federal government.
This is what you have been waiting for, now is the time to get your house on the market and move up to that house you have been dreaming about
With the $8,000 first time home buyer ready to expire Congress is kicking around and extension. As part of that extension they are considering expanding the tax credit to also include "move up buyers". So what is a move up buyer?
According to early reports a move up buyer is going to be anyone who has lived in their home for 5 or more years. Now mind you the new bill is not final and many changes may occur. So why am I writing about this now?
I am writing this because now is the time that you should be preparing if you fit into the move up buyer category. We are still in a buyers market and this extension if it happens will probably only run until April, so if you are wanting to sell and buy another home your window will be be very short.
If you are a move up buyer here is a checklist of things to work on right now to help make your move up a reality
Propper planning now will help make your move up dream a reality. Opportunities like this do not come around often, Call The Russell Home Team now at 913-681-1383
