Tax Credit Expires, But Buyers Still Have Savings Options

There are mere hours left to finish negotiating your contract if you want to take advantage of the federal home buyer tax credit. However, if you miss the deadline, you may still be able to save up to $8,000.

Members of the U.S. military, foreign service, and intelligence communities have an extra year to take advantage of the credit, but that's ONLY if they were on extended duty (90 days or more) between Jan. 1, 2009 and Apr. 30, 2010.

Also, ANY home buyers that buy homes participating in the Coldwell Banker Buyer Bonus Sales Event will receive a credit at closing for 3% (up to $8,000) of their purchase price. Hurry! The offer begins May 1, 2010 and ends July 31, 2010. To find participating homes, please visit www.coldwellbanker.com/buyerbonus or contact Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty.
