$8,000 First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit update
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009YOU MUST CLOSE THE TRANSACTION BY NOV 30, 2009!!!!
Based on recent stories of closings, FSBO.com predicts many real estate closings the last week of November, 2009 will be a real mess. The main reason: the surge in mortgage applications overwhelming lenders. These days most lenders have reduced staff, increased paperwork required to sell the loan, dealt with constantly changing rules by government and many have accepted applications, only to run out of money or go out of business just days before the closing.
Let me know if you have recent experience with a closing delay or problem.

Existing Home Sales Surge 7.2%, Highest Level in Two Years
Thursday, September 3rd, 20098/30/09 Sales of existing U.S. homes jumped more than forecast in July to the highest level in almost two years, signaling the housing crisis that crippled the world’s largest economy is easing. Purchases climbed 7.2 percent to a 5.24 million annual rate, the most since August 2007, according to National Association of Realtors.
‘Cash for Clunkers’ definitely helped sell cars and First Time Home Buyer credit has helped boost real estate sales, the problem is that this program ends Nov 30, 2009. You can expect a surge of closings at the end of November. Based on current experience, lenders and goverment agencies keep changing their rules to have a successful closing. FSBO.com urges sellers to price your home correctly to take advantage of this surge and buyers to not wait until the last minute.
