Will Congress Extend FTHB Tax Credit?
We continue to get reports that an extension or a re-vamping of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit is being considered. However, at this point in time, the credit is due to expire at midnight on November 30, 2009. Additionally mortgage interest rates have been hovering near the low points and this could be the perfect time to buy.
In recent testimony with the Congressional Small Business Committee, NAR (National Association of Realtors®) that the best thing for the housing market was to extend the tax credit. They also stated that one of the worst things for the housing market was the HVCC (Home Values Code of Conduct).
I don’t know if it will help, but they are trying to keep the housing market moving. So are we with our Stimulus Challenge.
