$8,000 First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit – Charlotte, NC

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home but have been hesitant to take the plunge, you still have time! 

With the number of homes currently available in the Charlotte, NC real estate market and surrounding areas, it’s a terrific time for first time home buyers as well as move-up buyers to start shopping for the perfect home.  With the extension of the federal government’s $8,000 first time home buyers tax credit also came the addition of a $6,500 tax credit for buyers who owned their own home for 5 consecutive years of the last 8 years.  This is great news for families looking to upsize or downsize their current homes or just want a change in scenery.
The deadline to take advantage of these tax credits is a little tricky.  You must be under contract on a home by April 30, 2010, and you will have until June 30, 2010 to complete the closing of the transaction.  This means if you’re thinking about making the move, you have 3 months left to find the perfect home and write a contract.
As a REALTOR, I work with buyers all over Charlotte and surrounding areas as an expert buyer’s agent.  In most cases my services won’t cost you a dime!  I will help you search for the perfect home, assist you in writing and negotiating a contract, and walk you through the closing process making sure you’re informed and comfortable throughout the process.  I pride myself on making sure the home buying process is smooth and enjoyable for all my clients, whether it’s your first home or your third.
Call me today so I can begin to assist you in finding the perfect home in time for the tax credit!
