Home Buyer Tax Credit

Home Buyer Tax Credit

First time homebuyers are eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000 tax credit. Also, homeowners who have lived in their home for at least five years and are thinking of relocating are considered "repeat buyers" and are eligible for a tax credit of up to $6,500.  

BUT..... don't wait until the last minute to take advantage of this impressive opportunity!! The home buying process takes some time (house hunting, paperwork, financing, etc.) so you shouldn't wait until 2 weeks prior to the deadline to take action.

To qualify for the tax credits, a sales contract must be signed by April 30, 2010 and the closing on the home must occur by July 1, 2010.
