First time home buyers will have an additional 3 months to qualify for the tax credit of up to $8500. offered by the federal government. Originally, the buyer must have a contract in place by April 30th and close by June 30th. But the Senate and House have approved an extension of the closing date and President Obama is expected to sign off on the legislation. The extension will accommodate the buyers who have had difficulty getting their loans approved due to the demand for new loans and the buyers of short sales who have had to work through the process which can take several months.
Monthly home sales were down slightly from last month but were up significantly over 2009. Total sales were 625 homes in Ada County – 508 existing homes and 117 new construction. That’s an increase of 45% over 2009.
Many of the homes included in these numbers qualified for the tax credit offered by the Federal Government. That credit required the purchase to be under contract by the end of April and closed by the end of June. However, Congress is considering a bill to extend the date of closing to September 1st, 2010 to try to complete transactions such as short sales that take a significant length of time to get approved and closed.
