Buying a home is about to get cheaper for a whole new crop of homebuyers — $6,500 cheaper.
Here’s the latest on extension of the homebuyer tax credit: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hJJraNRE6DjWj2orF7SYJ12PADEAD9BPFFR01
Senate voted yesterday, House votes today … I think it will pass. A few hightlights:
- not just for first-time buyers
- up to $6500 for current homeowners who have owned for 5 years
- up to $8k for first-timers
- primary residence up to $800k
- income limitations
Stay tuned.
- must be under contract by April 30 and close by June 30
