On Wednesday, the Senate approved legislation which allows home buyers (first-time home buyers and home buyers purchasing home for primary residence) that signed contracts by April 30 to close by September 30 in order to still be eligible for the tax credit. The tax credit is $8,000 for first time home buyers and $6,500 for home buyers purchasing a home as their new primary residence. Congress has sent the bill to President Obama.
