The Home Buyer Tax Credit has been extended. Senators agreed to extend the tax credit which provides up to $8,000 to first-time buyers to April 30, 2010.
The program was initially set to expire November 30, and is credited for stimulating the nation’s housing industry. However, the Commerce Department reports that after seeing a decline in new-home sales, some industry experts blamed consumer uncertainty about the tax credit.
Senators agreed to extend the existing tax credit for first-time homebuyers while offering a reduced credit of up to $6,500 to repeat buyers who have owned their current homes for at least five years. The tax credits will be available to home buyers who sign sales agreements by the end of April. They would have 60 days or until June 30 to close on their new homes, according to a summary of the legislation being circulated among lawmakers.

The exciting opportunity for First Time Home Buyers may soon no longer be available, but those considering buying a home for the first time should make a decision before November if they want to receive the tax credit of up to $8,000. In order to be eligible for the credit, a home must be purchased before December 1, 2009.
That being said, we recommend first-time home buyers start the purchasing process no later than early November, as there may be hiccups involving insurance, closing, loan processing, and seller expectations.
If you are still interested in taking the credit, here are a few things to consider to help your decision along the way:
- Any home purchased as the taxpayer’s principal residence and located in the United States qualifies. For a home that you construct, the purchase date is considered to be the first date you occupy the home.
- If you made an eligible purchase in 2008, you claim the first-time homebuyer credit on your 2008 tax return. For an eligible purchase in 2009, you can choose to claim the credit on either your 2008 or 2009 income tax return.

In many Friendswood Development Company communities, new-home buyers can take advantage of a special incentive that will add what many consider a very important feature to their new home. For a limited time, Village Builders is offering buyers a unique incentive: a free built-in natural gas generator in addition to free Design Studio options.
The offer applies to contracts written on homes until July 19, 2009 and homes must close by a specified contract date.
Now more than ever, a permanent standby generator has become a feature that many people have chosen to add to their home, often spending as much as $10,000. The natural gas generator is designed to power a home during a loss of electrical power, something many Houstonians experienced for weeks in the aftermath of hurricane Ike.
