Western MA: We Need Homes to Sell!

Here is a thing you don’t hear too much of lately: bid offs.

One of my first time buyers just lost a bid on a home.  He made a strong offer, but was beat out by someone with slightly more buying power.  Another listing of mine has had several offers in a very short time period.  Another listing is being shown almost twice a day!

It is my conjecture that the homebuyer tax credit has brought out some extra buyers.  The sellers are thinking they should wait for spring, but by then this ripe market will be gone.  I literally have buyers that I have been unable to find a property for because there is not enough inventory.

The Home Buyer Tax Credit Expires April 30, 2010!

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.
