Auburn AL Homebuyers Catch a Break on the Tax Credit Closing Deadline
Auburn AL, June 30 –After a close brush with the deadline, Congress has passed an extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit for all Auburn AL first-time homebuyers closing deadline, the Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623). This will enable Auburn AL homebuyers who because of one reason or another couldn’t close by June 30 still receive the First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. The extension applies only to transactions that have ratified contracts in place as of April 30, 2010 that have not yet closed. The legislation is designed to create a seamless extension to help all homebuyers across the nation and in Auburn AL. The new closing deadline for eligible transactions is now September 30, 2010. There will be no gap between June 30 and the date the President signs the bill into law. NAR worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to enact this important legislation.
The National Association of Realtors® today commended Congress for timely passage of bill to extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline. They now head to the president for his signature. Extending the tax credit closing deadlines will help provide additional stability to real estate markets across the nation, said NAR.

With low interest rates and an abundance of inventory buyers are seeing that now is the time to buy an Auburn Al home.

“This is a great opportunity to capitalize on the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers who purchase a principal residence in Auburn AL”, says Stacey Salatto, Broker of Weichert Realtor-Porter Properties. “In addition, a $6500 tax credit or grant is available to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. Unlike previous home buyer tax credits, this credit does not have to be repaid, but the deadline is fast approaching, so now would be a good time to purchase.”
For many interested buyers, this tax credit not only provides financial support, but it allows many to realize the dream of Auburn AL home ownership that they may not have qualified for previously.
The details of the credit are similar to the one offered in 2008 and include the following requirements:
Buyers must be under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by July 1 of this year
Buyers must ensure that they are qualified first-time buyers under IRS guidelines
Current home owners purchasing a home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010, who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight.
Each home buyer’s tax credit is determined by the price of the home and buyer’s income
The success of the tax credit thus far has led to its extension beyond the initial deadline. This is just one of many efforts under way to help people like you achieve the dream of purchasing in Auburn AL homes.
With all the requirements and restrictions for this credit, the key is to work with a real estate professional that knows the local market and specializes in buyer representation - like an agent who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation.
