It appears that the deadline for the $8,000 tax credit will be November 30,2009. You must occupy the home on or prior to that date to qualify for the credit. According to an article that ran today in the Washington Post their have been numerous bills but non have obtained any ground. The Obama Administration is mum on their position. The question is what value has it brought to the table and is the price tag to high and results to low to continue with the credit, time will tell. For now if you are on the fence you need to act now. Turn times on lenders are improving but we are only 60 days away and if you are looking at a home that is in a short sale situation that doesnt allow much wiggle room.
