  Kathy Harbaugh, director of the Realtors Association for Central Indiana, said sales figures through the tax credit are not being tracked, but says the federal program has had an impact.
  
  "We're coming up to the deadline," she said of the Nov. 30 cutoff date. "People have to close on the purchase of a house by the end of November."
  
  Harbaugh is advising people to buy now and not taking a chance the program will be extended.
  
  "It has been a huge benefit," she said. "It has been very important to the housing industry. With every transaction, 51 people go to work."
  
  The program has helped the economy as a whole, as people are moving into existing homes, Harbaugh said. She said in many cases, buyers don't need a down payment or in some cases a 5 percent down payment.
  
  Harbaugh said sales in the six county area are stabilizing and noted that July was a good month.
  
  "We're not seeing additional declines," she said. "People sitting on the fence are buying, which is a positive sign. There is no spikes up and down in sales."
  
  The fourth quarter is normally when sales go down, Harbaugh said.
  
  "It has not been a bad year," she said. "It has been better than what people expected."
  
  Harbaugh said sales in the region have been a mixed bag. Leading the way has been Grant and Wabash counties.
  
  "Mortgage rates have maintained and home prices remain lower," she said.

  According to Kathy Harbaugh, associate executive director of the Realtors Association of Central Indiana, home purchases are improving.
  
  "I just ran the numbers, and we were up in residential sales in the fourth quarter of 2001 over the previous year," said Harbaugh."And, in January 2002, we were up tremendously over 2001.We're even over January 2000, which was a record year for sales.The true tale will be March.If our sales are strong then, we're out of the recession.Our Realtors say their phones are ringing more.It's wonderful."
  ...
  Harbaugh disclosed that 79 homes were sold in January 2002, up from a January high of 74 in 2000 and just 57 in 2001.

  Kathy Harbaugh, executive director of the Realtors Association of Central Indiana, said the higher tax credits would be a huge advantage to someone interested in purchasing a home. "Studies have found that every time a real estate transaction closes, it puts 51 people to work," she said. Harbaugh said the $15,000 tax credit would have offer a major boost to the recovery of the housing industry. "We were disappointed the higher tax credit didn't make it through," she said. "People can take that tax credit and use it to purchase appliances, furniture or a car." Harbaugh said the tax credit will make a big difference in the economy. She said realtors would like to see the $15,000 tax credit made retroactive to last year. The local real estate sales market has been flat in the region, she said. Harbaugh said the tax credit could raise the price of homes on the market. "The signs for a recovery are in place," she said of the local housing market. "There are a lot of lookers and we're seeing increased traffic." Buyers shouldn't put their plans to buy on hold waiting on the additional tax credit, Harbaugh said. She cautioned that interest rates might increase.
