Homebuyer Tax Credit Closing Deadline Extended to September 30

By -
Homebuyers that were already under contract to purchase a home by April 30, 2010 now are allowed three additional months to close in order to qualify for the homebuyer tax credit; thanks to the U.S. Congress’ amendment and approval of the tax credit bill.

Extending the deadline to September 30, 2010 ensures homebuyers can take advantage of the tax credit by allowing lenders to catch up on the huge volume of loan applications waiting to be processed.

Please keep in mind this extension only pertains to qualified homebuyers with existing contracts – those who were not under contract on or before April 30, 2010 are not eligible to receive the tax credit.

Real Estate Tip – Room For Negotiation?

By -
Most buyers share a common question when working with their real estate broker to bring an offer to the table. Buyers want to know, “Is there any room for negotiation in the asking price?” While it’s an important question to ask, brokers in various markets are likely to respond differently depending on the real estate conditions specific to their area. Buyers in the Breckenridge and Summit County market can expect to pay an average of 3-6%-off the current list price for a home. Buyers want to be careful to not to offend the seller by proposing an initial offer that is too low.
