The bill now awaits the President’s signature.
The bill does two things, first the extension will push the December 1st deadline through till May 1, 2010. This is an $8,000 tax credit that is available now for first-time purchasers before May 1, 2010. Added to this bill is stipulation that prospective purchasers with binding contracts in place as of April 30, 2010, will be permitted an additional 60 days to complete the transaction. This gives time for those in the process of escrow to properly close.
Second, added to this bill is a new $6,500 tax credit for repeat buyers who purchase between December 1, 2009, and May 1, 2010. For those buyers who have used their home being sold as a principle residence consecutively for 5 of the 8 years, they will be able to receive the new $6,500 tax credit.
Both tax credits are given an extra 60 days to close if they are in binding contracts as of April 30, 2010. Also, the income limits have been expanded to $125,000 on a single return and $225,000 on a joint return. This is an incredible time for home buyers to take advantage of purchasing their first or new home in Rancho Santa Margarita.
