The extension and expansion of the Homebuying Tax Credit is coming to an end.  The guidelines state that a buyer must have a contract on a home on or before April 30, 2010 and must settle on the home on or before June 30, 2010 to be eligible for the tax credit.

What this means is that if you are planning to take advantage of this opportunity, you should get your pre-qualification letter and begin house hunting now.  Three months is an adequate amount of time to find a home and gives you the flexibility of finding exactly the right home for you.

If you are considering a move this year and want to know all of the details about buying a home, come to one of our 1-hour Home Buying Seminars.  In addition to learning the steps of the homebuying process, you will learn about the tax credit, short sales and foreclosures, the components of a real estate contract, and much more.
