Happy Holidays

Millions more people may now be able to take advantage of the lucrative homebuyer tax credit. Legislation was signed into law last week extending the program through April 2010. Th e new rules provide for up to $8,000 in tax credits for buyers who haven’t owned a home for 3 years and $6,500 in tax credits for existing

homeowners who have owned their current home for at least 5 years. To qualify for the full amounts, p r o s p e c t i v e homebuyers will need to sign a purchase

agreement by April 30, 2010, need to close on their home by June 30, 2010, and earn less than $125,000 (single taxpayers) and $225,000 (married taxpayers) per year.

See the details at: www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com

Home & Condo inventories have been steadily reducing for the past several months. Start your search today while selections are still good.

Am I eligible for the latest extension of the homebuyer tax credit program?
