If you have been waiting to see what would happen with the home buyer tax credit your wait is over. Now is the time to start your search for your new home!





The news that you first time home buyers have been waiting to hear and a bonus opportunity for some move up buyers. The Bill for Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension has passed both houses and the president has promised to sign it into law. Buyer's who qualify must be in contract by May 1, 2010 and close by July 1, 2010 so let's start looking today!




This new bill contains some differences from the law that has been helping first time home buyers this year and was due to expire at the end of November. The bill calls for 10% of the purchase price or up to an $8000.00 Tax Credit for first time home buyers (persons who have not owned a primary residence within the past three years) but also allows for a $6500.00 Tax Credit for current home owners who have owned thier homes for five or more years to make move up purchases. Income limits have been increased to $125,000.00 for single tax filers and to $225,000.00 for joint filers. To qualify for the credit the house must be a primary residence purchased for $800,000.00 or less.

Did you know that there are things that may come with the house you are buying that could add to the bottom line at the closing table? Depending on what type of heating fuel you use there could be a charge for the remaining fuel being left behind by the seller. Many people who move into more rural areas from cities where they are used to natural gas being piped in as needed may not be prepared for what can be a $1000 + charge for heating fuels at the closing table. Understand that you would have to pay for fuel sometime but if you are unprepared it can come as a shock. Somewhere along the line it was most likely mentioned that the fuel cost would be paid at closing but the full understanding of what that means may not have hit home. The last thing you need is for $1000 to keep you from being able to close on your house. Make sure you understand the closing costs as explained to you and ask questions if you don't understand.

As a home buyers it is important to understand what is involved in buying the house you are interested in. Having a Buyer's Representative who will make sure you understand the home buying process in the location you are planning to live is important. A Buyer's Representative will be there with you through search, offer, negotiations, inspections, and closing. If you are working with a Listing Agent you will be missing out on personal representation and you may not fully understand what is what.
