If you thought your time was running out to use the homebuyer tax credit, your luck just changed! Today, President Obama signed the bill into law extending the $8000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. In addition, this new law now includes a $6500 tax credit for buyers who are current home owners and have lived in their home for five of the past eight years.
