Additionally, there are new benefits for members of the military and certain other federal employees:
Members of the military and certain other federal employees serving outside the U.S. have an extra year to buy a principal residence in the U.S. and qualify for the credit. Thus, an eligible taxpayer must buy, or enter into a binding contract to buy, a principal residence on or before April 30, 2011. If a binding contract is entered into by that date, the taxpayer has until June 30, 2011, to close on the purchase.

Members of the uniformed services, members of the Foreign Service and employees of the intelligence community are eligible for this special rule. It applies to any individual (and, if married, the individual's spouse) who serves on qualified official extended duty service outside of the United States for at least 90 days during the period beginning after Dec. 31, 2008, and ending before May 1, 2010

National RECI Rebounds - Up 2.49% vs. February

Brokers and agents reversed three months of declining optimism and
pushed the RECI up from 5.63 in February 2010, to 5.77 in March(+2.49%).

Prevailing positive sentiment surrounding the current tax credit program
due to expire on April 30, 2010, combined with the onset of the typically
more active spring season helped to fuel the optimistic outlook.

Declining inventory levels in a number of states however emerged as a
primary catalyst for price stabilization and was seen by respondents as a
key reason for more frequent bidding wars in key states including
Florida, on low to mid range priced properties.

Amidst the renewed optimism, negative sentiment and apprehension
remained apparent in several states, with survey respondents indicating
buyer reluctance to commit due to job uncertainty. Pressure on prices
was also expected to continue by brokers and agents in most states,
driven by current foreclosure inventories, with more expected to hit the
market later this year.
