IF President Obama signs the bill that Congress just passed - we will have the 1st time homebuyer tax credit extended for Purchase & Sales agreements under contract with qualified buyers before May 1st, 2010'

The bill was approved by the Senate last week by a unanimous vote of 98 - 0 oppossed! The House passed it today.

Remember that there are qualifications that must be met.

First - any home over $800,000 is not eligible even if the buyer meets the income limitations - this is new.

To be eligible for the credit - there are Income limits. Limits will be raised from $75,000 to $125,000 for individuals and from $125,000 to $225,000 for couples. So...  

INCOME LIMITATIONS for receiving the new Tax Credit

Existing Limits New Limits
Individuals  $75,000 $125,000
Couples   $125,000 $225,000

The credit can be up to 10% of a home's purchase price.

The maximum credit remains at $8,000 for first-time homebuyers which is defined as someone who has NOT owned a home in the last 8 years...

The maximum credit for CURRENT homeowners is $6,500 IF they have been in their primary residence (owner occupied) for at least  of the last 8 years - and they must sell their home and buy a new one to qualify.
