Great news for repeat buyers.  If you have owned your own home for the last 5 out of 8 years, then you may qualify for a tax credit of $6500!  Some of the program guidelines include having a contract to purchase your next home by April 30, 2010, and going to settlement on that house by June 30, 2010.  Just contact Karen for more information to see if you qualify.

Currently, the real estate market is extremely active.  In many ways, this tax credit program is putting so many buyers out there that there's now a shortage of nice homes for sale in the Northern Virginia area.
