Atlanta

Atlanta has experienced an increase in the number of foreclosures and pre-foreclosures in the past couple of years. Buyers are able to find many good deals that have helped to stimulate the housing market along with the $8,000 tax credit from the government. April 30, 2010 marks the end of the availability of this credit. A buyer must be under contract by that time, even though they do not have to actually close by that date. This credit for First Time Homebuyers is accompanied by a $6,500 credit that is available for qualified move up buyers.
