Good News For Port St. Lucie Buyers And Sellers – First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Has Been Extended
This is felt by many as an important step in keeping the housing recovery going. The $8,000 credit has been extended for buyers who have not owned a home for the last three years. The bill has been broadened to include a $6,500 tax credit to buyers who owned and used a home as their primary residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years. It has raised the income limit for a single person to $125,000 and for a married couple $225,000. The law also limits the home price to $800,000 and under. The home being purchased must be contracted for by April 30, 2010, and must close by July 1, 2010.

This tax credit will be an incentive for buyers to step in and buy a home at not only a low price but to receive a credit. This will help clear the inventory out and
