Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended!
President Obama has signed a bill to extend the tax credit for first-time homebuyers and to expand the tax credit to current homeowners. Buyers who have owned their current homes at least five years would be eligible, subject to income limits, for tax credits of up to $6,500. First-time homebuyers (people who haven’t owned homes in the previous three years) could get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers have to sign purchase agreements before May 1, 2010 and close before July 1, 2010.
