A Bigger & Better Home Buyer Tax CREDIT…

February 17, 2009

Still sitting on the fence in regards to possibly buying a home….it is time to get off & buy a home!

A tax credit of up to $8,000 is now available for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. Unlike the tax credit enacted in 2008, the new credit does not have to be repaid.

In its efforts to stimulate the economy and revive the housing market, Congress has enacted legislation providing a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers….again the credit does not have to be repaid!

Time is of the essence for buyers who want to take advantage of this opportunity….only homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009 are eligible.
