Lodi / Stockton CA Homes For Sale & Real Estate Information

Could it be true?  Could it be possible?  C’mon House…Let it ride, baby!  Let it ride!

If you’ve made an Offer to Purchase a home recently, especially a Short Sale in Stockton, Lodi, Modesto, CA or anywhere for that matter, then you know what I’m talking about.

To receive the home-buyer’s tax credit you had to have been “under contract” (meaning, accepted by the seller) by April 30th and have your deal “close escrow” by June 30th.  But since some banks are extremely slow to approve short sales, a lot of these deals haven’t closed escrow yet, and may not be able to by June 30.

It was put to a vote, and the Senate said YES to an extension until Sept 30th to get these deals closed.  Now it’s up before the House to approve this extension as well.

Here’s a quick read on this story… http://bit.ly/9fr0ru

Oh my!  Wouldn’t this be a great thing?  Yes!

The first-time homebuyer tax credit had two deadlines.  One was to be “under contract” by April 3o, and the other is to have closed escrow by June 3o, which is just around the corner.

So, if you’re dealing with a Short Sale, like a lot of people are, and you haven’t received your approval from the lender yet, or you have and you just haven’t closed escrow yet, then this is making for some nail-biting times right now.

This extension is up before the Senate for approval.  Here is an article explaining more info…READ HERE.

Well, we should be finding out anytime now about whether or not Congress has officially agreed to extend the tax credit.  It was passed by the Senate unanimously, so that may be a good sign.

With the flood of foreclosures an short sales still in the system, I feel it would be a good thing for the tax credit to have one more go-around to see if we can keep the flow of homebuyers coming in.

Working mostly in the Lodi, CA and Stockton, CA real estate markets, I still see a lot of great opportunities for both the first-time homebuyers, the move-ups, and the real estate investors alike.
