$8000 Tax Credit Coming To An End

August 10, 2009

The $8000 tax credit is coming to an end.

If you are thinking of buying a home and taking advantage of the $8000 tax credit, you will want to actively get into the process of searching for a home as soon as possible. You might not have as much time as you think – because the process of buying a home has been stretched out recently due to market conditions (here in Phoenix) as well as the time it takes to get approved for a mortgage due to new mortgage rules.

8000 tax credit ending

The $8000 tax credit program is scheduled for termination as of December 1, 2009 – and unless it gets extended for some reason, you must close on your new home prior to this date. If you are thinking to yourself “December is still a ways off…” consider this:

  • Due to current market conditions, houses in the sub-$300k range are getting multiple offers – which means you may need to “bid” on multiple properties before “winning” one.
  • It “normally” takes 30 days to get your financing arranged once you have a sales contract.
  • According to the IRS, you must actually close on the home home for it to be considered occupied and qualified for the credit.

Is The 8000 Tax Credit Going To Be Extended?

Yes.

That is my official prediction. And now that I have said that, I probably should tell you that I am wrong about these kinds of predictions more than I am right.

So don’t take my word for it, plan your financial life as if my prediction of the $8000 tax credit being extended is wrong and it will end forever after December 1. It is impossible to tell for sure whether or not it will be extended, but I can’t think of a bigger mistake than hoping that it gets extended, putting off buying your home until “next spring” and then finding out that the $8000 tax credit ended.

Better hurry!

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
