Congress is in session and it is looking like they are going to extend the stimulus package that is before them. If it passes as expected, it will expand the $8,000 tax credit to April of 2010 for all first time home buyers. The new twist on the program, is that up to $6,500 will be available to anyone who buys a home. (there are some income limits that apply) So, if you know someone thinking about making a move up, down or sideways, there won’t be a better time than now. Plus interest rates continue to be at about 5% for 30 year fixed rate mortgages.
