The Tax Credit

The Tax credit for homebuyers was expanded in 2009 to include Repeat Home Buyers. It was also extended to April 30, 2010. You may close on the purchase as late as June 30, 2010 if the binding purchase contract is in place by April 30, 2010.
Remember that the credit is in effect a rebate against your taxes, which you receive even if you owe no taxes at all!
