Follow on Google News | Morgan Hill Real Estate Firm Assists First Time Home BuyersWill Klopp, a top Morgan Hill Realtor and Vice President and Managing Officer with Alain Pinel Realtors – Morgan Hill Office is addressing local client needs with information on how to take advantage of First Time Homebuyer Credit extension.
By: www.morganhillhomes.com The latest extension extends the tax credit to include contracts signed by April 30th and that close escrow by June 30th, 2010. In addition, the extension includes a $6500 tax credit to those who have had at least 5 years of consecutive homeownership or 5 out of the last 8 years. "Therefore, this extension not only benefits first-time homebuyers, but also repeat or move-up purchases, says Will Klopp, first-time home buying expert with Alain Pinel Realtors. Mr. Klopp says his office had been inundated with calls about the first extension. With the credit having been extended he said, "The basis behind there being a “cutoff date” for contracts leads me to believe that the government may not grant further extension of this incentive. I would recommend that any and all eligible parties take advantage of the tax break before the deadline." Will Klopp reminds those who want to take advantage of this extension that there are a few rules that new homebuyers need to be aware of: 1. Homes must be under contract for purchase by April 30th, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010. 2. Home buyers can receive the tax credit by amending their current tax returns, thus not having to wait until filing their tax returns next year and receiving the credit quicker. 3. Income limitations have been expanded. 4. The tax credit is no longer limited to just first time home buyers (considered those that have not owned a primary residence in the past 3 year), repeat home buyers that qualify and have lived in a primary residence for 5 out of the past 8 years qualify. 5. New or resale, Single Family, Condos & Townhomes all qualify for the credit as long as they become primary residences. It is projected that 1.8 million homebuyers will benefit from the first time homebuyer credit by the end of this November. The National Association of Realtors believes approximately 355,000, nearly 20%, would not have purchased their new home without the First Time Home Buyer Program.
