Tax Credit......

Effort to Extend Tax Credit Closing Deadline Gains
The U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline to Sept. 30, giving an estimated 180,000 buyers who met the contract deadline of April 30 extra time to close the transaction. The extension was added to a bill to pay for jobless benefits, which still must pass.

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® estimates that one-third of qualified applicants have been notified that they will be unable to close by the deadline. The Mortgage Bankers Association says delays are caused largely by the volume of transactions.

The overall bill, once it passes the Senate, must be approved by the House.

Current New Homes Market...

Having many colleagues in the industry of New Home Sale in Northern Virginia, everyone is selling! With the first time tax credit over, the business has actually picked up. Currently covering for Bryton Homes in The City of Fredericksburg Virginia, I sold 3 homes in May, with June having just as much traffic as May. Many buyers are wanting homes built with the newest codes, appliances, energy efficiency, and as much green as possible. So yes traffic is up, and the buyers are out looking for New Homes.
