President Signs 3-Month Extension of Tax Credit

On Friday, President Obama signed a law giving home buyers three extra months of the wildly popular tax credit that gives first-time home buyers $8,000 and previous owners $6,500.  These only apply to primary residences.

The catch?  This still only applies to purchase contracts that were executed prior to the April 30th deadline.  This just gives those individuals extra time to close.  It does not enable today's signed contracts to qualify.
