Update on Tax Credit Extension...

This is an excerpt from an email that my lender-friend, LuAnn Davis sent just a few minutes ago...

November 5, 2009

Senate has passed legislation making if virtually certain President Obama will sign the
Homebuyer Tax Credit Benefits Extension and Expansion!!

If signed into law . . . . .

* The first time homebuyer tax credit of $8000, due to expire at the end of November would be
extended through April, 2010.

* Legislation is expanded to allow qualified move-up buyers to be eligible for a credit of up to $6500.

* Income limits have been expanded for first time homebuyers with incomes up to $225,000 for a married
couple now being eligible.

* Existing homebuyers will have income limits and must have lived in their current residence for 5 of the prior 8 years.

* Primary residences only qualify.
