Across the nation and here in the Charlotte, NC, people are taking advantage of the move-up/repeat home buyers tax credit. A tax credit of up to $6,500 can be claimed by qualified existing home owners. Whether it is a home in Cotswold, a home in Myers Park, South Park or other great communities in Charlotte, there are certain requirements to be met to take advantage of the tax credit available to homeowners.

The key information on the tax credit is the timing for the purchase of a principal residence. It must occur after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010 (or purchased by June 30, 2010 with a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010). With the mix of incredably low interest rates and the extended home buyer tax credit, Charlotte home buyers are taking advantage for sure. As an expert in the local Charlotte real estate market, I like to help people with their real estate needs in the community, whether one is looking for information on homes for sale in Dilworth or simply trying to learn more about neighborhoods or new developments.
