Charlotte NC First Time Home Buyers--Time is Running Out for the $8000 Tax Credit
Charlotte NC First Time Home Buyers--Time is Running Out for the $8000 Tax Credit
97 days, 10 hours, 41 minutes, and 5 seconds. That's how much time is left for Charlotte NC first time home buyers who want to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit. If you intend to participate in the program, you must close your new home by November 30th, 2009. 
You should be searching for a home now because once you get your chosen property under contract, it may take 45 days or longer to close the transaction.
I believe that the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit program will create a frenzy over the next two months similar to the Cash for Clunkers program. I experienced this first hand this week when I listed a very nice home in Matthews NC at a price attractive to first time home buyers. Within the week, there were five showings of the property and four agents submitted offers. Each of the offers was made by a first time home buyer. Unfortunately, three of those buyers were disappointed not to get the property and will have to continue their search. If you are a Charlotte NC first time home buyer, find a great agent to help you find a home, get pre-qualified for a mortgage and begin your search as soon as possible.
