HHI Real Estate News from Larry MeyersFed's Homebuyer Tax Credit Expires Soon!(3/5/2010)
The clock is ticking for prospective homebuyers. Act before April 30th, 2010 to take advantage of this last-chance savings. Current homeowners looking to purchase a home may be eligible for up to $6,500 federal tax credit. This is your big opportunity to buy the South Carolina home of your dreams, but you must contract by April 30 and close by June 30, 2010. Saving big on one of life's biggest purchases, is as American as apple pie.
Meanwhile there is scarcely an expert on the market who doesn't fully believe that mortgage rates have but one way to go - up. Forecasters predict rates to go as high as 6.5% by the end of this year, while Morgan-Stanley predicts even higher rates between 7.5-8.0%. Buying now to lock in at a lower interest-rate could save you significantly more than waiting a few more months for a small discount on the purchase price. Sellers beware ... price your home to sell now! Rising rates equate to higher monthly payments for buyers, which may dampen this recovering market later this year.
