$8,000 FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS AND $6,500 HOMEBUYERS TAX CREDIT! HURRY! HURRY! ENDS JUNE, 2010


The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 extends the deadline for qualifying home purchases from Nov. 30, 2009, to April 30, 2010. Additionally, if a buyer enters into a binding contract by April 30, 2010, the buyer has until June 30, 2010, to settle on the purchase.

The maximum credit amount remains at $8,000 for a first-time homebuyer –– that is, a buyer who has not owned a primary residence during the three years up to the date of purchase.

But the new law also provides a “long-time resident” credit of up to $6,500 to others who do not qualify as “first-time homebuyers.” To qualify this way, a buyer must have owned and used the same home as a principal or primary residence for at least five consecutive years of the eight-year period ending on the date of purchase of a new home as a primary residence

SELLERS!


Your first challenge is setting your home’s sale price. That’s an important task – if the price is set too low, you’re losing money. If you set it higher than comparable homes in your area, your home will typically be on the market for an extended period of time and often sell for less than it should. We can help you in Setting Your Price by providing a Free Home Evaluation. Click on Market Analysis for an analysis of your home and its value.

UNDERSTANDING SHORT SALES!

A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale. Today, however, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions. Recent changes in corporate policy and the Obama administration have also improved the chances of getting a short sale approved.

Here's a more official definition:
•A homeowner is 'short' when the amount owed on his/her property is higher than current market value.
•A short sale occurs when a negotiation is entered into with the homeowner's mortgage company (or companies) to accept less than the full balance of the loan at closing. A buyer closes on the property, and the property is then 'sold short' of the total value of the mortgage.

For homeowners to qualify for a short sale, they must fall into any or all of the following circumstances:

Financial Hardship – There is a situation causing you to have trouble affording your mortgage.
Monthly Income Shortfall – In other words: "You have more month than money." A lender will want to see that you cannot afford, or soon will not be able to afford your mortgage.
Insolvency – The lender will want to see that you do not have significant liquid assets that would allow you to pay down your mortgage

This seems simple enough, but it is a complicated process that takes the expertise of experienced professionals. We hold the CDPE® (Certified Distressed Property Expert) Designation and are ready to identify all possible options and, when possible, assist in the quick execution of a short sale transaction.

If you have questions or feel you may qualify for a short sale, please contact us for a free consultation.

Understanding your options now could mean all the difference in the world!
