Just a quick update on the two Federal Housing tax credits still available to home buyers. Remember that these credits are for first-time home buyers AND move-up/repeat home buyers...an $8000 and $6500 credit respectively. The credit for current home owners selling and buying is the new one for 2010. This applies to home buyers of Fairfax homes or those in Great Falls, Vienna, Oakton, Reston, Chantilly, Centreville, McLean or anywhere else in the area.
In order to qualify, purchasers must have a ratified contract by April 30 and close by June 30. So, if you know of anyone that may be in the market to buy OR sell/buy, please make them aware that there's no guarantee that this will be extended.
As always, I appreciate your recommending me if…

In Fairfax, referrals are the most accurate assessment of who…
