First time home buyers, the tax credit window is closing

The closing deadline for buyers seeking to take advantage of the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit is November 30th. Unless the tax credit gets extended, first time home buyers should plan on getting their offers accepted very soon.

We recommend giving yourself at least 45 days to beat the November 30th deadline. We're expecting lenders and title companies to be very busy over the next two months, which could lengthen the time to close. Also keep in mind the Thanksgiving holiday is November 26th, just before the deadline.

Proficiency in using internet is a great advantage in hunting valuable properties but then when it comes to getting down the details, consultation with a skilled agent is needed. An agent must know the latest trends in the market and must be knowledgeable of the current economic indicators.
