With the home buying tax credit set to expire April 30th, there’s no time to waste to find out if YOU qualify for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  From now through  April 17th, Davidson Realty is holding Tax Credit Open Houses each Saturday where on-site experts will help you determine how much Tax Credit you may qualify for. Stop by on Saturday anytime between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm and we’ll explain the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers and the $6,500 for current home owners; answer home buying questions; pre-qualify people for loans; and review area communities as well as individual homes.

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers.  If you purchase a home by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010, you may qualify for one of the two available tax credits. The first-time homebuyer credit is for buyers who have not owned a home during the last 3 years. The other credit is for current homeowners who have used the home they are selling or vacating for 5 consecutive years within the last 8 years. The credit is 10% of the purchase price of the home up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and $6,500 for current homeowners. (more…)
