Natick Real Estate First time Tax Credit Extension information brought to you by Robb Enterprises Natick MA HR 4213 The extension for the CLOSING, not the accepted contract, will now need to be voted on by the House of Representatives in order to be passed into law. It will be in front of the House before the end of June. They want to extend the closing date by 3 months till the end of September to give adequate time for lenders, attorneys, title companies, new home builders and municipalities to properly close and record transactions. The house should vote within the next week on whether this will in fact give people the extra time they need to close or if the June 30th deadline is in fact the end of the line.

First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit Information
Rae Haining asked:
With all the recent interest in The First Time Home Buyer Tax credit, this article details what it is and how it effects you. This offers buyers guidance into what their benefits in the Nashville TN home sales market will be according to the recent new Federal guidelines. What’s in it for them??? Well, for starters, it’s great time to buy homes in Nashville, TN.!!!
What is essential is that the buyer hire an experienced Realtor to represent their interests and guide them through what could be a challenging transaction. There’s lots of inventory in the Nashville home sales market, so sellers are willing to negotiate. That means buyers have bargaining power. There is no greater need for a skilled negotiator in the real estate market than now. According to recent home sales in Nashville TN, the market prices aren’t getting any lower. When there is an abundance of inventory on the market as there is now (inventory in Nashville, TN is at a 15 year high), everyone must strive for a win-win situation for both parties.
The home buyer tax credit states that a person who hasn’t bought a home before will receive $8000 tax credit if the home is bought before December 1, 2009. Qualified buyers have about 4 months left. Three months really if you count a month for closing time. Because of this tax credit, lower prices and many less risky mortgage products on the market, home sales in Nashville TN show a much greater improvement in market conditions. This is mainly due to the Emergency Economic Stability Act started October 3, 2008 which was created to improve credit markets and lessen the tension in the real estate market.
This market lends to a variety of choices in home loans for the home buyer. FHA home loans are a great alternative for first time home buyers. The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) insures the loan allowing for easier credit qualifications, lower down payments, and lower closing costs. These loans are expected to increase up to 35% by the end of 2009 from 4% in 2007.
So if you’re sitting on the fence about buying a home, the First Time Home Buyers Credit and the availability of loan products make this a perfect time for home buying.

First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
The Realtor asked:
You’ve decided to purchase a home and take advantage of the 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. Here’s what you have to do to get your benefit:
Close on your home purchase by November 6, 2009. (If you closed on your home on or after November 7, 2009, please see: How to Get the Extended Home Buyer Tax Creditfor more information.) Ensure that you are a qualified first-time buyer under IRS guidelines, Decide which year to file under, 2008 or 2009, File an amended 2008 return or choose to apply the credit to your 2009 tax return.
Deciding When to Apply the Credit
If you want the benefits of your credit as soon as possible:
You might choose to file under your 2008 tax year. Since April 15 has already passed, you would have to file an amendment to your return. However, if you’ve already filed for an extension of your 2008 return, then you can simply claim the credit when you submit your return.
If you anticipate a drop in income next year:
You can wait to claim the credit as part of your 2009 filing. In some cases the value of the credit might be higher, particularly if in 2008 you qualify for only a partial credit because your income is over $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (joint).
Your Next Steps
Once you have determined which year to apply the tax credit, you will need to do two things to claim the credit:
Fill out Form 5405 to determine the amount of your available credit, and File an amended return for your 2008 taxes, or wait and apply to credit when you file your 2009 tax return.
