The senate voted to extend the first time home buyers tax credit and has offered up a move up tax credit to purchasers that have lived in their homes for 5 more years.
Here are the highlights to the new Bill-HR 3548
Trade up buyers that have owned for 5 or more years=up to $6500 credit.
First Timers or anyone that has not owned for 3 or more years=up to $8,000
Buyers MUST sign the purchase agreement by April 30th and close by June 30th 2010!
The credit is phased out for those with incomes above $125k single or $225k for joint filers.
This is a tax credit and not money back.
Looks like a GREAT time to trade up while interest is still low and inventory is high!
