Thousands of Sellers to Offer Credit up to $8,000 from May1 until July 31, 2010

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 26, 2010) — Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC today announced the launch of its Buyer Bonus Sales Event, a national promotion intended to build on the momentum of the soon-to-expire federal homebuyer tax credit. 

In a recent survey of Coldwell Banker Real Estate professionals, nearly half indicated that they had worked with home buyers who would have missed out on the home buyer tax credit in November of last year had it not been extended.  In addition, while 34 percent cite the current tax credit extension (expiring April 30) as the primary reason their customers are currently for searching for a home, 28 percent said that they feel the limitations of this credit will prohibit some buyers from taking advantage of the credit.   

That is why on May 1, 2010, immediately following the expiration of this government initiative, home sellers participating in the Coldwell Banker Buyer Bonus Sales Event will offer a credit of 3 percent (up to $8,000), when part of an accepted offer,  of their home’s purchase price to buyers who sign a contract before July 31, 2010.  There is no deadline for a closing date.
