If you are buying a home, the end of November is the deadline for the First Time Home Buyer $8000 Tax Credit. Actually, because of the Thanksgiving Holiday plus weekend, my advice as a Realtor is that you should close no later than November 24, 2009, or face the prospect of not meeting the deadline and losing the tax credit altogether.
Please contact me if I can be of service!
