Hey ladies! I dont know if this excites you...but it surely does excite me! They are trying to pass a bill so that the tax credit can be extended until April 30, 2010 and you would have to close on your house by June 30th to get the 8000! If you are a current homeowner and would like to move into a bigger house (or another house) they are offering 6500 but you must have lived in your residence for the past 5 years. I'm excited! FI and I have been putting off getting a house until about March or April of next year just so that we can make sure all our finances are in order and that we have a good enough down payment. Now that the tax credit MAY (and probably) will be extended...it's an added bonus!You can read about it:
