Obama Approves Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension!

It's official!

The first time homebuyer tax credit has been extended through May 1st 2010!

Additionally, income limits have been extended and current homeowners are now eligible for the credit when purchasing another property.

This is great news for buyers and the real estate community!!

Click here for the full story.

First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension...

House and Senate have approved it, now just waiting for Obama to sign - The extension would also EXPAND the credit to current homeowners and increase income limits, among other things - Below is text taken from the California Association of Realtor's website:

"The U.S. House of Representatives today passed a bill extending and expanding the Federal Tax Credit for First-time Home Buyers. The bill was passed in the U.S. Senate late yesterday and will now go to President Obama for his signature, where it is expected to be signed this week.

The tax credit will be extended through April 30, 2010, with a 60-day extension if a binding contract is in place prior to the deadline. First-time home buyers will continue to receive a tax credit of up to $8,000, while existing homeowners will receive a reduced credit of up to $6,500. Existing homeowners will be eligible for the $6,500 if they have lived in their current residences for at least five years. The bill also will increase the qualifying income limits from $75,000 for single tax filers and $150,000 for joint filers, to $125,000 and $225,000, respectively. The purchase price of the home is capped at $800,000.

Under additional provisions in the bill, taxpayers can claim the credit on purchases completed in 2010 on their 2009 income tax returns. The bill maintains the provision that home buyers do not have to repay the credit provided the home remains their primary residence for 36 months after purchase, and waives this requirement for active duty military personnel who move due to a military order."
