GREAT NEWS! For all of you "first time" home buyers out there, Congress passed and President Obama signed an extension of the $8,000 credit for so-called first time buyers. Actually, you don't have to even be a true first time buyer. If you've previously owned a home, but have not had one in the most recent three years you're eligible to take advantage of the credit. There are additional details for things such as married couples where one has owned more recently than three years but the other hasn't. Check with your accountant or tax advisor to be sure you qualify. Then....BUY!
