Ok, here we go again. We are roughly 45 days away from the Federal Tax credit expiring for would-be home buyers. It seems like we just went through this the other day and in fact, it was just last October when we were writing articles just like this. It’s mid-March and at the end of April, the tax credit for home buyers and first-time home buyers will expire. The question is did you take advantage of it?

For those of you new to the home buying process, a new change happened January 1st, 2010 that will make you life allot simpler in terms of shopping for a home loan. The new Good Faith Estimate (GFE) requirements have made lenders HIGHLY accountable for the interest rate and closing costs quotes on a home loan.
