The Housing Bill
Important News For You
On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed into law a new housing reform bill designed to help stimulate the recovery of the housing industry. NOW is the time to take advantage of existing home buying assistance programs before they expire later this year.
Two important changes are:
1. All government-sponsored zero down payment assistance programs are eliminated as of October 1, 2008. To be eligible for these programs, all home loans would need to be approved by September 30, 2008.
2. The bill includes a government incentive program for first time homebuyers who close on their home by July 1, 2009. This benefit is retroactive to April 9, 2008.
To find out about the program that works best for your personal home buying situation, we encourage you to visit a Sales Associate or contact us today. It could make a big difference in fulfilling your new home dream.
