"The first-time home buyer tax credit, which Congress in February increased to $8,000 from $7,500 and eliminated the repayment requirement, is an incentive you'd expect consumers to be clamoring about. But many practitioners are astounded to learn that buyers in their markets who are prime candidates for the credit aren't even aware of it." NAR
To receive this tax credit we have to close by November 30th... Meaning we'd better hurry up if we're going to find something and get it closed in time! Give us a call to get going right away today!
