About the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

Part of the massive stimulus signed into law by President Obama in February was directed at improving the state of the real estate market.

Here are the basics: 

  • Purchase by December 1, 2009. 
  • Eligible to any single person or couple who have not owned a home as their principal residence in the last 3 years.
  • Receive a refundable tax credit of 10% of the purchase price, up to $8,000. (Refundable means that if you are due the full $8,000 but only owe $2,000 in taxes you will receive the rest of the $6,000 in a refund check from the I.R.S.)

More information is available online, or by contacting me, Josh Nugent.
