The average family wants to buy a home, but at what costs? At what cost to us, the American Tax Payer.

There has been a lot of buzz about extending the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. Why? For two reasons... Because the $8,000 Tax Credit expires on November 30th, 2009. And because many have stated that these tax credits have stimulated the housing market and our economy. We have heard mention of recession, great depression, inflation, economic default, hard times, etc, etc. Has the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit helped the economy and the housing market? Yes, in some cases. But people, it's another gov't band aide.
Tax Credit Alert - $8,000 to $15,000?? Will the flood gates open for home sales?

The new bill was introduced on June 10th, 2009, but pending. This could be some good news for more than just first time homebuyers. But I have a different opinion on just the basics, from raising the tax credit from $8,000 to $15,000. But what are the changes that are being talked about? (80 comments)
