Bill McCord's Blog

The rumours and speculation surrounding this Bill are getting increasingly shrill and uninformed ranging from:

1. Extension of the credit is a done deal and will possibly even increase the amount to $15,000.

2. It will be changed to apply to deals that are in escrow before the current Nov 31st deadline and close within 60 days more.

3. It’s dead as of Nov 31st.

4. Etc, etc,etc.

The best site i’ve found for intelligent discussion of this is http://www.californiateachersandemployeeshomeloanprograms.com/update-8000-homebuyer-tax-credit-extension-october-2009/

Scott is a very diligent researcher and reporter on this and more generally 1st time buyer programs.
