UPDATED Stimulus First Time Home Buyers
The original bill of $15,000 tax credit for ALL buyers did not pass which would have been a bigger boost to the nation's sagging home market. In brief the temporary credit for first time home buyers: The bill increases the size of an existing temporary and refundable first-time home buyer credit to $8,000, up from $7,500. It also removes the requirement under current law that the credit be paid back if the buyer stays in the home for at least three years. And it would extend the credit's expiration date to Dec. 1, 2009, from July 1. Those eligible for this credit must have purchased a home after Jan. 1, 2009, and before Dec. 1, 2009.
The full credit is available to those making $75,000 or less ($150,000 for joint filers). Estimated cost: $6.6 billion.

HOME BUYERS get a $15,000 tax credit for ‘09 purchase
"The proposal would let anyone who buys a new or existing home within one year of the enactment of the economic stimulus bill get a credit on his or her tax return of $15,000 or 10 percent of the home’s purchase price, whichever is less. It would only apply to the buyer’s principal residence, and the buyer would have to stay in the home for a minimum of two years." - AJC
This is a great opportunity for ALL home buyers not just first time buyers like the current tax break right now. If you are a home buyer, use this time to start doing your homework and interviewing agents to get your feet wet in the market. Need to start previewing homes and neighborhoods now before this is passed. Don't want to play catch up afterward and lose some good buying opportunities. Many home buyers have been held back since last year, so a buying spree may explode upon approval of this bill. Don't get left out on the great deals that are out there.
