Closing Deadline Extended for your Troy Michigan Real Estate
Posted in Troy Michigan Real Estate by Michigan Real Estate Expert on August 9th, 2010 If you’re in the middle of buying Troy Michigan real estate, for which you’re hoping to get a Homebuyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000, you have more time to finalize it.
After a close brush with the deadline, Congress passed a 90-day extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit closing deadline. The extension applies only to buyers who have written, binding contracts in place as of April 30, 2010. The new closing deadline is now September 30, 2010.
Extending the tax credit closing deadline will provide additional stability to Troy Michigan real estate and real estate markets nationwide. Additionally, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) estimates that this new extension will help about 180,000 to 200,000 homebuyers who already signed purchase agreements and were likely to miss the June 30 deadline.
Those are two of the reasons the NAR worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to get this extension approved. Voter pressure on House members also helped to push this bill through.
