Tax Credit Extended!
-Extra time: You now have until April 30th 2010 to get under contract, and June 30th to close to qualify for the 8000 credit
-Income limits have been raised: Single filers used to see their credit diminish between 75 and 95 thousand a year. And above 95 they recieved nothing. Now the phase-out is between 125 and 145 thousand a year.
-Likewise for Joint filers...old phase-out was between 150 and 170. Now the phase-out is between 225 and 245
-AND now non-first-time buyers (those who have resided in a home for at least 5 years) can qualify for a lower 6,500 credit.
