Senate Votes Yes for Tax Credit Closing Extension

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Anyone with an accepted purchase offer to buy a home awaiting closing that is trying to make the June 30th closing deadline for the tax credit will be interested to hear:

The Senate approved an extension of the June 30 deadline to CLOSE home sales until September 30 in order to qualify for the Homebuyer Tax Credit. The tax credit will still be $8000 for first time buyers and $6500 for existing homeowners.

The bill in which this amendment is contained, however, is still awaiting a vote of the full Senate, and then the job and tax bill that contains the amendment must have differences resolved with the House version of the bill before the change can be signed into law.

January 2010 New York State home sales up from year ago

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This just in from the New York State Association of Realtors.

My summary: NY home sales continue to climb – both in the volume of homes sold and in the median sales price!

Translation: You hear a lot of talk about the real estate recession and poor housing market.  My advice is to take a look in your own back yard instead of listening to national forecasts and experts talk about the slump.   Rochester are real estate is ahead of the game.  What I get from this article?  Optimism and opportunity!
