Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended and Will be Available to Some Move Up Buyers? Senate is “Close to an Agreement”
28th October 2009
Bloomberg News service is reporting that the Senate is close to passing a modified extension of the first time home buyers tax credit, which will extend the 
dead line from November 30th on to April 30th for getting a home under contract, and another 60 days to close the loan, making the credit available for closings up to the end of June. The proposed bill will lower the amount of the credit from $8,000 to $7,290 (or 10% of the sales price, whichever is less) and make the credit available to move up buyers who have owned their home for at least 5 years. Under the proposed agreement, the income caps for first time home buyers would remain at $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for married couples, but move up buyers would still qualify with incomes of $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples. This bill will be added to an unemployment benefits extension bill, and Bloomberg is reporting that there are enough votes committed to pass the bill.
All the major home industry trade groups (National Association of Realtors, home builders, mortgage groups) have lobbied for an extension of the tax credit, and the move up feature was on all their wish lists. But the news lately was focused more on how much this credit would cost, and on allegations of fraud, so if this happens as projected it will be a big surprise, and a boost to the real estate market. Some economists have said that the tax credit is inefficient and is keeping prices higher than they would be otherwise. But letting home prices fall further isn’t good politics. The market has already softened in the past few weeks as buyers who thought they were too late for the tax credit, headed toward the sidelines. This extension will bring back some of these buyers and should insure that the real estate market stays busy through the first part of next year.
Bloomberg is reporting that this bill could be passed as early as this Friday. I will have more news and details as they come available.
