1) The Tax credit ends Dec 1st. This means you have to close on your home buy Dec 1st. So it is taking 30 to 60 days for the mortgage lenders to get their paperwork together..only God knows why. The time line will be signing a contract on your home by November 1st or even better October 1st so you are not rushed at the end. If for some reason the closing is delayed and you go past December 1st...sorry. Don't wait and put that added pressure on you. Could there be an extention of the current program or maybe a better program coming?? No one knows.
2) Mortgage rates are still low. They are flucuating between 5.25 and up. All indications are that rates will go up. No one knows when or how much.
