One Step Closer...First Time Buyer Tax Credit

Good news for first time homebuyers. Extension of the tax credit passed the Senate on November 4, 2009, and the bill is on to the House then President Obama for signature. The President has publicly indicated his support for the program, so it is likely to take effect.

The extension will make it possible for first time buyers under contract by April 30, 2010 to qualify for up to $8,000 in tax credit. Some municipalities have set up funds to provide the tax credit up front to purchasers so that they may use it towards downpayment, so check with your local city or county government. Other private sources may also be available.

The credit extension may also help existing homeowners who sell and move up by offering a credit of up to $6,500.

Good news all around!
