A Real Estate Stimulus That Is Too Good To Pass Up!
We all look for deals. Today there is a deal that is too good to pass up. The federal government is offering a real estate stimulus that is too good to pass up. You can receive a federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for first time homebuyers and up to $6,500 federal tax credit for move-up buyers.. This is an opportunity that may not come again in your lifetime.
Between now and April 30, 2010, first time homebuyers can receive a federal income tax credit of up to $8,000 if they purchase a home. This is a tax credit that will not be extended! This applies to first time home buyers or those who have not owned a home in the past three years. This is a fantastic opportunity for first time homebuyers who have been thinking about getting into the real estate market. You won’t have an opportunity like this again in your lifetime. If you have an income level of less than $125,000 for singles or $225,000 for married couples you may qualify.
You really need to get moving. You have to sign the written binding agreement prior to April 30, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010. The thing to do is contact your tax professional or your local Coldwell Banker since other restrictions may apply. This offer will not be extended so get moving. You will look back on this as the smartest move you ever made.
