The Perfect Storm

October is the month of crazy weather changes and conditions that led to the October Atlantic storm giving rise to the conditions that were featured in the book and movie of the same name. This October is a perfect brew of conditions that are the most favorable that homebuyers have seen in a long, long time!



First time buyers in particular should be out searching actively for their perfect home. Not only can they take advantage of an $8000 tax credit (money in your pocket), but in Maine can possibly qualify for another $5000 towards closing costs through the Green Money program at Maine State Housing. Combine this with rates near and below 5%.......well it should be a no brainer.



If your credit score is above 640 and you have some money saved, get out there. The house you choose must be closed by December 1, 2009. It takes 4 to 6 weeks to close.....
