President Signs Bill to extend First Time Home Buyers Credit - Also expands the bill

Great news for the housing market came Friday when the President signed a bill extending and broadening tax credits for homebuyers.

The tax credits apply to contracts signed by April 30, 2010, that close by June 30. Income limits for eligibility have been increased to $125,000 per year for individuals and up to $225,000 per year for couples. Credits up to $8,000 continue for first-time buyers but there is now a $6,500 tax credit for buyers who've owned their current home at least five of the last eight years. However, homes selling for more than $800,000 are not eligible.

Mortgage Rates are still near all time lows.... now is a great time to buy!
