Greetings!
 
Greetings! My message to you this month is an important one, don't miss the boat! The timeclock is ticking for first time home buyers. Not only does the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers expire on November 30th but interest rates are expected to climb in the first part of 2010. Other changes happening are FHA "spot approvals" on condominium complexes not already FHA approved are ending as of Oct 1, 2009. This will limit options to condo buyers who will have to come up with a minimum 10% down to purchase in these non-FHA approved complexes. 
 
Let friends and family know that I am available if they want to take advantage of low home prices, low interest rates and the first time buyer credit. It's a great time to buy!
