Do you still have time to qualify for the first time homebuyer tax credit?
Filed under: Real estate agents, Real estate market report, home buying info
With the November 30th deadline fast approaching do you still have time to buy a home in Deltona and qualify for the first time homebuyer tax credit? Many homebuyers will need to ask themselves and their real estate agents this question before making an offer on a home over the next few weeks.
The deadline is approximately 3 months away from this post however with so many bank owned and short sale property listed for sale, making an offer and having the offer accepted on one of these types of homes, could create a time problem.
Short sales are known to take more time than normally expected to close. It is not unheard of for a short sale to take 45 days or longer just for the seller to get their lender approval of the short sale price. From there the buyer will need to have inspections and financing completed in order to close. This is crucial time spent “hurrying up, only to wait” for buyers who want to receive the first time homebuyer tax credit.
Bank owned homes are a little better in terms of the process however the competition is stronger. Buyers often find themselves in bidding wars on the best bank owned homes for sale. This could lead to missed opportunities resulting in them having to start over in their search for available properties or it could lead to a buyer paying more than they wanted just to receive an accepted offer.
One of the keys to successfully closing on a home in time to qualify for the tax credit is by having everyone involved in the transaction; the buyer, the buyer’s real estate agent, the seller, the seller’s real estate agent, and the lender, keenly aware of the process and the time constraints. This awareness will work towards eliminating delays and speed up the process.
To learn about the other keys to successfully closing on a home before time runs out, contact me or give me a call.
You might receive the full $8000 tax credit if you purchase 74% of the homes listed for sale in Deltona
Filed under: City Information, Communty news, Real estate agents, Real estate market report, home buying info
The first time homebuyer tax credit is 10% of the purchase price up to $8000. In Deltona, 74% of the homes listed for sale are listed at $80,000 or higher. This means if you qualify as a first time homebuyer and meet the guidelines that include income limitations, when you buy one of these homes you could receive the full $8000 tax credit.
What we need to do is find out if you qualify as a first time homebuyer. Give me a call and I will explain the process to you in detail and introduce you to a local agent who will be able to help you with the home buying process. Hurry, the opportunity to receive this tax credit ends in November.
Online Deltona real estate agent
Filed under: Real estate agents, Selling info, home buying info
The facts are in and according to nearly every source, buyers begin looking for a home online. Over 80% according to some.
Old school real estate marketing which includes newspaper ads, or other forms of print media no longer has the strength and reach it once had. When listing your home or property you will increase your chances of finding the right buyer if your real estate agent has more than just passing online exposure.
If you are interested in hearing more, give me a call, 407-304-0255 or just Google me, Greg Staker.
Is your Deltona real estate agent part time?
Unfortunately real estate agents are finding themselves in a position where they believe they have to take another job in order to survive. They reason that the current market does not allow them an opportunity to be successful.
In fact the opposite is true. Today’s market is viewed as a golden opportunity to show the skill set of those agents who have committed to a real estate career and not just a job.
You should ask agents you meet prior to hiring them if they are full or part time. You deserve a full time agent who understands what it takes to be successful in this or any real estate market.
Call or email me to have a full time agent contact you.
