   Re: NAR Update: Tax Credit Deadline Extended; Flood Insurance Program Reinstated
   Dear fellow REALTOR®,

   I am happy to report that Congress has passed a bill extending the Homebuyer Tax Credit closing deadline to September 30, 2010. This is a huge win for REALTORS® and homebuyers, and NAR worked closely with members of Congress to make it happen.

   Must have cost a lot of people a lot of money.

   This short sale will cost the lender about $200,000 by the time they’re done.

   BTW, agent is related to seller.

   Agent related to seller? What a surprise with a picture like that!

   Is there a visually-challenged Realtor group?

   Yunnie says no double dip (in the video):

   “If jobs come back as expected, the pace of home sales should pick up later this year and reach a sustainable level of activity given very favorable affordability conditions,” Yun said.

   Wow, the extremely soft focus gives the house a dreamy quality. When can you show it to me, Jim?

   Lereah, and now Yun. Does anyone really ever take them seriously anymore? Perhaps uninformed people who want to believe them.

   I agree with Yun – if jobs come back as he expects, things will definitely turn around and we’ll have a very active, healthy market. Foreclosures will back off and delinquencies will be cured.

   The difference is everyone other than NAR expects jobs to not return for a long time.

    “If jobs come back as expected, the pace of home sales should pick up later this year…”

    That’s a good one.

    That looks like a scaled-up copy of a 64×64 JPEG thumbnail of a Daguerrotype.

    If the fog clears, it will be warmer – if I win the lottery I will have more money, and if jobs come back, house sales will pick up. . .gee, I hope he isn’t getting paid too much!

    “Congress approved late Wednesday an extension to the June 30 closing deadline for the home buyer tax credit, hours before it was set to expire. The move will give would-be buyers who signed a purchase agreement by April 30 more time to close on those deals and receive the credit that is worth up to $8,000. The new deadline is Sept. 30.

    Silly…

    So far we have about a year of extension right?

    For the price of a postage stamp.
