More details to keep you on track for the 1st time homebuyer tax credit of 2009

A couple of days ago, I wrote an article that highlighted issues in King County, WA regarding closings in November 2009 that could impact a buyer’s ability to get the $8,000 tax credit for 1st time buyers. More news is coming out that impacts this as well and buyers should be prepared that lenders are wary of the volume that will hit at the end of this month as well and they’re putting up barriers for any legal action that may come from a rush of paperwork and deadlines culminating at the end of the month during one of our Nation’s biggest holidays.

See below for a warning sent out by one of my lending contacts with regard to news they’re being given of banks trying to reduce liability for missing the deadline. Be sure to be talking to your lender about their policies and volume that is expected for this month. The last day of the month is a Monday:

One major lender has reminded us that, for the purposes of the tax credit, the purchase date is the date when closing occurs and the title to the property transfers to the homeowner. This must take place before December 1, 2009. This lender is also suggesting that a disclaimer be signed absolving them of any liability should the mortgage loan not get closed in time for the credit. There is a movement to extend the deadline at least 6 months, and even to drop the first time buyer requirement. Who knows what the future of that is.

Furlough days for King County Recorder’s Office to affect November sales and possibly your opportunity for $8,000 1st-time homebuyer credits. Be prepared in your offer!

Filed under: King County, South Park, townhouse, title/escrow, Central District, Beacon Hill, Madison, Kirkland, single family, Kent, Tukwila, Auburn, Woodinville, Issaquah, FHA/VA, Conventional loans, Phinney Ridge, Greenlake, Bellevue, Puget Sound, mortgage/loan, Seattle, buyer, economic issues, seller, Bryn Mawr, Lakeridge, Renton, tax issues, Ballard, real estate, condo, Redmond, West Seattle, Washington — Reba Haas @ 12:16 pm

Many people know that local governments and municipalities have been cash strapped and have implemented budget cuts in various departments as of late, but not everyone who is in the process of home shopping realizes that this could impact them directly. In King County, there were forced furlough days implemented throughout the 2009 calendar year so all cities lying within this county area will be affected. See the note below that I received from a local title & escrow firm to know which dates in November and December are affected. The 28th and 29th of November are on a weekend, when NO closings can occur anyway so don’t schedule yours for the 30th thinking that there will be plenty of time. As a first time home buyer you might find yourself out of luck with the $8,000 tax credit if you miss the timing and have your sale bumped past the November 30th cut-off date for that benefit.

Many people are expecting a last minute rush of activity this week for those that are hoping to utilize the tax credit as it usually takes 30-45 days to get through the underwriting process for lending so most contracts are written to close within that period of time. The next week or two will be interesting for everyone involved in the real estate and lending industry as we wait to see what buyers will do. If you’re in that camp of people trying to take advantage of the credit, then you better get crackin’ this weekend and narrow down your choices fast.

We also wanted to provide you a reminder that the King County Courthouse has scheduled the following furlough days and holidays between now and the end of the year. These courthouse closures will impact your closing date selection as well. King County Furlough Days and Holidays

November 11th, 25th, 26th and 27th.

December 24th and 25th

An important announcement about expected flooding in the Green River Valley this winter 2009-2010!

Important Emergency Notification Information

Dear Colleagues,

The BOMA office would like to ensure that you know that you can sign up to receive emergency alert emails and text messages through the Regional Public Information Network (RPIN), especially with the new flood hazard potential in the Green River Valley. Once you sign up, the RPIN system sends you alerts based upon your sign-up preferences by type of alert and geographical area. This is a free service hosted on King County’s web site. Information can be pushed to the RPIN system by several different agencies, jurisdictions and organizations.

The new flood hazard potential in the Green River Valley can significantly impact real estate and tenant businesses, commerce, transportation and other critical infrastructure in Auburn, Kent, Tukwila, Renton and South Seattle. Whether or not you have real estate or business interests in these areas, the impacts of flooding will affect you. The Kent Valley is the 5^th largest distribution center in the United States – significant flooding will impact you no matter where you live and work. It will take you just a couple minutes to sign-up at: http://www.rpin.org/rpinweb/ Click on “Sign-up today” in the yellow banner. Finally, it is critical that you are fully informed about the situation with the Howard Hanson Dam (flood control for the Green River) and how the Army Corps of Engineers will not be able to hold as much water behind the dam until repairs are made. If we get rains and we have snow melt like we did in January this year, it will result in severe flooding throughout the Valley. We highly encourage you to attend a comprehensive seminar on this subject BOMA is conducting this Thursday at the ShoWare Center in Kent. We expect 300-400 real estate professionals, owners, tenants and businesses. If you are already registered - please pass this on to anyone else who might benefit from attending.

[If you need real estate license clock hours the seminar is approved for four hours and the cost is only $25].

Topics include:

Background on the Howard Hanson Dam & Levee system
Flood hazard maps, impacts on real estate and related commerce
Howard Hanson Dam repair plans – short and long term
Communication and notification systems
Government planning, emergency operations and recovery expectations
Infrastructure impacts & disruptions – transportation, water/sewer, power grid, gas etc.
Insurance – FEMA, private insurance for property owners, tenants, businesses, residents
Guidance on how to prepare your properties, tenants and businesses for a flood disaster
Landlord tenant legal issues, leases, communication guidance with residents and tenant businesses
Business continuity guidance and resources
Levee certification and how this issues impacts real estate values and development options in very significant ways

Register at www.bomaseattle.org or using the attached flyer. Sponsorships and display tables are also available. Rod Kauffman, President BOMA Seattle King County 206-622-8924 Ext. 104 rkauffman@bomaseattle.org
