Tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 6), to be precise.
The House of Representatives today overwhelmingly (403-12) passed the initiative, which also extends the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers until April 30, 2010.
President Barack Obama is expected to officially sign off on the legislation before the upcoming weekend.
So what’s it all mean?
Essentially, if you have been living in your current home for at least five consecutive years (and you own it, of course), the federal government will reward you with up to $6,500 to purchase a new home. However, you must close on the new house no later than June 30, 2010, to receive the bonus.
It’s a great incentive for empty nesters, downsizers, upgraders and basically anyone else who wants to relocate or enjoy a change of scenery … and get rewarded for it.

It looks like first time homebuyers will indeed have more time to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit, which was scheduled to expire on Nov. 30, 2009, according to the New York Times.
Legislation to extend the popular program until April 30, 2010, recently cleared a big hurdle in the U.S. Senate, receiving unanimous support among lawmakers (85-0). The initiative could land on President Obama’s desk for final approval at the end of this week or early next if it passes its next stop in the House of Representatives.
In addition to first timers, the new measure would reward existing homeowners — those who have lived at their current addresses for at least five years — with $6,500 tax credits for buying new homes.
And last but not least, the new legislation will raise the income limits for eligibility ($125,000 a year for individuals and $225,000 for couples), ensuring that more people can take advantage of the incentive.
Stay tuned for additional updates on this developing situation. For more background on the $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers click here.
