So with the interest rates very low and the overall price of homes going up, now is the time to buy a home. Have you been on the fence? Don't forget about the first time home buyer credit AND/OR the newer credit for Move Up buyers!
For the move-up credit the following applies: a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified move-up/repeat home buyers (existing home owners) purchasing a principal residence after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010 (or purchased by June 30, 2010 with a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010). The National Association of Realtors has some great info on this program.
And remember - now that spring is on the horizon, you wont have to shovel snow! The seller had to do that! :)
