APRIL 30, 2010

That is when the home buyer tax credit expires.  No kidding.  No rumors of extensions.

GONE.

If you are a first time homebuyer, you must close on your new home by April 30, 2010 to collect up to $8,000 in tax benefits.

Other buyers who may qualify for the “Step Up” Home buyer credit must be in contract by April 30, 2010 with a closing no later than July 1, 2010 to collect up to $6,500.  My blog post on the tax credit extension has a complete guideline for your review.

The rush of the holidays is over and the real estate market is heating up.  Buyers are contacting me daily and the energy in the Western Massachusetts housing market is GOOD!  What a difference a year makes: this time last year was the slowest I have ever been in real estate….I am glad things are moving in a positive direction for all of us!

The revised tax credit is part of what is stimulating buyers to get motivated early on in the year. 

I wanted to take a moment to make sure that you have current and accurate information about the new Home Buyer Tax Credit.

I always love working with first time home buyers.  There is a blush to the whole process, an excitement and energy that you don’t get with anyone except people buying their first home. 

With the tax credits being offered, many people are taking advantage of the timing and credits to get into a new home and it has been my honor to help many of them purchase homes in Westfield, Holyoke, Springfield and surrounding communities. 

Below is a slide show of my most recent buyers who purchased a lovely home in Holyoke.  The transaction was very nice and the seller even threw them a party prior to the closing so that they could meet all of the neighbors and see pictures of the home over the years.  In all my years selling real estate I have never seen this done:  it was simply lovely.

There are many people hoping to take advantage of the first time and step up buyer tax credit extensions, I can help you be in your new home before the credit expires!

I am so appreciative of the people who choose me to help them buy and sell their homes.
