100 Days Left for Home Buyer $8000 Tax Credit

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

by Mark Brace

Get your pre-approval NOW! We only have 100 days to have an accepted PA to qualify for the federal tax credit.

Also, we are expected to have an announcement from FHA this week. They are going to raise the up front mortgage insurance premium from 1.75% to 2.25%and reduce the maximum seller paid costs from 6% to 3% (which means more money out of pocket and higher payments).

Get your rate locked in before these changes occur. More to follow.

As part of Congress's stimulus bill, a generous tax credit is available to those buying a home for the first time. If you qualify, you may get up to $7,500 or 10% of the home's purchase price.

In order to obtain the Federal tax credit for first time homebuyers, you'll want to make sure you fill out the forms below.

While the stimulus bill is still changing within Congress, the latest buzz is that it will change to $8,000 for first time buyers only.
