Will homeowners in the Tacoma and Federal Way area be able to reap the benefits of the Tax Credit when they move up?
The US Senate is still in negotiations regarding a proposal to extend the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit which is set to expire on December 1st. The current details reduce the credit by about $610 ... from $8000k to 10 percent of the sales price or at the $7,290 cap.
The plan may also extend tax credit to existing homeowners looking to move-up.
