Enhanced Tax Credit Provides Outstanding Opportunity for Myrtle Beach Home Buyers

In its efforts to stimulate the economy and revive the housing market, Congress has enacted legislation providing a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers (defined as anyone who has not owned a home in the last three years).

But time is of the essence for buyers who want to take advantage of this opportunity. Only homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009 are eligible
