The $8000 Federal tax credit for first time home buyers
I asked Davonda Brown, a Realtor and committee member of the Alachua County Affordable Housing Coalition if they will be discussing the $6500 tax credit for move up buyers "We will be touching on that, but primarily we will focus more on information and education of first time home buyers."
"It is important for first time buyers to know The clock is ticking and time is running out. Buyers must have an executed contract by April 30th 2010 in order to qualify for the credit. That means they don't have to close by April 30th. Just find their home and place it under contract. They have to close by June 30th." Says Brown.
Builders, Lenders, Realtors, Credit Consultants and Vendors will all be on site to answer questions. For more information or Call Davonda Brown at 352-317-2807 or email her at davondabrown@bosshardtrealty.com
