So what does this mean- if you have buyers that are closing in the next two weeks- they need a different program ASAP.
If you have a client closing mid June or later- I expect the program to be back up and running – no worries.

I have gotten a few calls wondering why Rural housing takes so long -it doesn’t when somebody knows what they are doing. I have secured funding for 3 clients prior to the end of the funding-
Don’t miss a commitment or closing date – I will be honored to keep you and your client (and seller) from going crazy!

I will keep you posted….

ANSWER:
Recent communication from legal counsel from the National Association of REALTORS® states that the NAR tax lobbying staff in Washington, D.C. has confirmed that the IRS has not issued any guidance regarding the question of what constitutes a sufficiently binding contract for purposes of the credit. Although NAR intend to urge the IRS to offer some input of the matter, they do not anticipate that they will do so.
READ MORE ABOUT IT:
More information may be found on the IRS Instructions for Form 5405, @ www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i5405.pdf: For additional information, see the Wisconsin Homebuyer site @ www.wisconsinhomebuyer.org/, NAR’s The Basics: Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit 2009/2010 @ www.realtor.org/home_buyers_and_sellers/2009_first_time_home_buyer_tax_credit and the Internal Revenue Service @ www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204671,00.html.

These resources offer examples of fact situations, filing options and other details.
