Act Now! First Time Tax Credit to End for Arizona Home Buyers
If you are a resident of Arizona and you have been thinking about taking advantage of the $8000 first-time home buyer tax credit, you are quickly running out of time. The purchase must be completed by November 30, 2009 in order to qualify for the tax credit. However, several things make this date a lot closer than you think.
The first thing to keep in mind is home values are at an extremely low rate. While this is good if you are hoping to purchase a home at a low rate, it also means that the volume of homes for sale is extremely high. The Phoenix area in particular has, over the past few months, become a hotbed of record high volume of home sales. This means that these homes may have multiple offers from consumers trying to take advantage of the low prices. This creates a few problems for potential home buyers.
- Many of the properties for sale are either short sales or bank-owned foreclosures. In this case, banks may be slow to respond to offers, holding out for the highest offer.
- A short sale requires a lengthier closing period due to the fact that all the lien holders will need to sign off on the offer; this may take up to 60 days or more.
- The mortgage lending industry has such a large volume of business that the system is clogged up. Banks are at capacity as a large volume of business comes their way. It will only get worse as a large number of people rush to get their purchase in under the qualification deadline.
- Additional volume was pushed into an already backed up system when the third largest FHA lender, Taylor Bean & Whitaker, closed in August.
At this point, you haven’t even started to look, you are likely to miss the deadline. Ideally, you should have completed a purchase offer in September in order to help ensure you will get your transaction completed in time.
Even if you miss the deadline to qualify for the $8000 First Time Homebuyer credit, or if you do not qualify to begin with, it is still an excellent if you are considering buying a home. Values are at their lowest since 2002 and rates remain at near historic lows. With the entire country working to pull the economy out of this recession, it is highly unlikely that these conditions will consider, so this may be the best home buying opportunity of a lifetime.

Kids suffer from poor sleep, asthma, eczema, mood or behavioural issues? Have you looked into their diet?
My twin boys (4) suffered from respiratory disorders which prompted me to research various treatments for 2 years. In the end by completely eradicating some artificial additives from their diet their symptoms were completely gone in 2 days! I am keen to help other families as we now enjoy a full night’s rest (the boys sleep around 11-11.5 hours) and during the day they are healthy, clever, happy boys with the ability to concentrate for long periods and to maintain a great mood. I have produced a wallet sized credit card outlining all the suspect additive/chemical names/numbers and am selling them online and via schools etc for AU$12. If you are interested in purchasing either for yourself or to help a friend please let me know via email and I will forward you other contact details. Heaps of my friends and other contacts’ childrens health issues have been resolved by simply watching the diet and supermarket purchases! Thank you. Liz
Thank you! Please send me information on how to purchase in USD$. Thanks again! God bless you and your family!
