The current federal home tax credit is still going strong until April 30th. Thus, many more buyers are looking to see what is 
available on the market. What they are finding is a lot of short sales and bank owned properties. These can be great bargains that is a well accepted fact. However, these houses are often in less than optimal condition and need a lot of money to turn them into the home that the buyers are dreaming about. This is where you the potential home seller come in. Your home is well maintained and cared for. You have always loved where you live and it shows. You’ve outgrown your home or perhaps it’s time to downsize. The point here is that your home is beautiful and would be a great fit for the first time buyers who are looking to find something with a little bit more character than the last twenty foreclosures we’ve looked at. Trust us looking at homes where there is no heat and the bathrooms have been winterized is not always the most enjoyable of experiences.
If you have lived in your home for the past five years and you meet the fairly generous income requirements you could be eligible for s $6,500 tax credit. A step up tax credit. This is if you sell your home by April 30th 2010! Current interest rates are starting to move upward which is helping to create the motivation needed to get buyers actually buying. You can sell your current home now. Sure, it will be selling for less than two or three years ago but you did not want to sell then so that really does not matter. What does matter is that your home will sell and you can buy another home taking advantage of the market adjustment to pick up a really nice home for not a lot money compared to what your home will sell for. And Uncle Sam will hand you a check for $6,500. Do we have your attention yet?

Nice blog Scott.
And I’m thinking that Sellers only need Purchase & Sale Agreements on both the sale and their purchase by April 30th, with an additional 60 days available to close, right?
That’s right, Maggie. People have until June 30th to close. Great post, Scott. It’s a great time to buy… rates are still low and there’s money to lend.
