The home sale must be CLOSED by Nov 30. All of it, the whole shooting match. In other words, all of the transfer of ownership to the new buyer must be complete, and recorded at the appropriate government agency. ie: the buyer must be the legal owner of the home by Nov 30.

I've read this tax credit ends November 30th. But does that mean the loan needs to close by then or be submitted or approved by that date?

The tax credit for first time buyers is just a bonus for those first time buyers that were already planing on buying a home. Maybe a few of those whom were in appts and thinking about moving, but that's it. In my opinion!

In Baltimore, we have not had alot of people motivated to buy based on the Federal Tax Credit. Buyers are more focused on getting a good deal or making sure that they will not be a forclosure statistic 12 months down the road. The intent of the government was to stimulate the housing market through incentives, which obviously has had a very minimal impact.

The RE agent drop in income story has other facets.Agents incomes are way down. The figures calculated are probably directionally correct overall. What makes things worse for the agents is that they're not doing 54% less work, or incurring 54% less out of pocket costs. Many pay for system access and certain RE related services out of pocket. With income reduced but expenses holding steady, the reduction in their net income is more pronounced. Many of these agents are also spending significant amounts of time and energy working on short sales. Few of these transactions end up closing and yielding commission $ as many banks are dragging their feet on dealing with problems. The only people who seem to have it worse are the spec builders. Many are being boiled alive as the problems they put off in 2008 by renting out unsold inventory are now snowballing into massive losses.

I just found this blog on Google by searching 15,000 tax credit home buyers July. I put July because I was tired of wading through the ones from Feb. I am desperate for the Gov. to say yes or no to something on this because activity here (Oregon City) has stopped since they announced a retry for the credit. By the way, just before I also had an offer 50,000 below my asking price (after lowering our price 75,000) by a 1st timer. His agent called mine stupid several times for not countering (because we wanted to ignore them) and made her feel as small as possible for doing what we told her to do. They did come back w/ a better offer (funny, since that was ALL they could afford before) which we did counter. Then they countered. We would have worked with them more if their agent wasn’t so very insulting to my very nice agent. They really wanted to buy this home and we really wanted to sell, but their agents attitude was so bad we didn’t want to deal w/ him anymore.

… but “border crossing Mexico” is WAY more entertaining than a silly tax credit. J/K.
Home Buyers are very excited about this tax credit and it is WELL worth writing about.
