There was a lot of speculation about what was going to happen when the first time homebuyer tax credit expired on November 30, 2009. Good news for first time homebuyers and existing homeowners – the homebuyer credit will continue and will be expanded to include more potential homebuyers. Here are the highlights:
- New Purchase Deadline Extends into 2010: Purchases must close by 6/30/10.
- Existing Homeowners May Qualify: Current homeowners who have owned a principal residence for 5+ years are eligible.
- First Time Home Buyers Will Receive Largest Credits: Buyer credit for first timers is still $8,000 or 10% of purchase price, whichever is less.
- Income Guidelines Expanded: More high income buyers will qualify, thanks to increased ranges.
