First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit...The Details

In order to understand the benefits more clearly, I'm posting a chart, compliments of the National Association of REALTORS®. As you probably have heard, both the House and Senate have passed the Stimulus Bill and the President signed it today. This one offers a non-payback plan. That is non-payback as long as the borrower owns the home for over 3 years. The good news for first-time home buyers who have purchased in 2009, this bill is retroactive.

In addition to the Stimulus Bill, the President is scheduled to announce the Administration’s comprehensive housing recovery program tomorrow. I will be in touch with more details about this announcement as it is released. It will focus on foreclosure relief and the modification of existing loans (delinquent and possibly current).
