Congress is giving an $8000 tax break to qualified home buyers
In addition to low interest rates and various tax advantages, first-time home buyers now have another powerful financial motive to leave the fence and take advantage of their unique opportunity in home purchasing.
Congress has now enacted a bigger and better Home Buyer Tax Credit!
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.
