The Tax Credit Extension for Homebuyers is Official!

Obama has officially signed the bill that extends the first time homebuyer tax credit of up to $8,000 through June 2010 as long as the homebuyer executes a contract by April 30, 2010. This new legislation expands the tax credit program to include an up to $6,500 tax credit for existing homeowners who buy another home as long as they have lived in their current residence 5 years or more.

The bill caps the eligibility for the credit to homes costing less than $800,000 and raises the current income limit from $75,000 per year for a single person or $150,000 per year for a couple filing jointly to $125,000/single and $225,000/jointly.
