News Alert! Great News For Sellers: Existing Home buyers get new tax credit!
Posted: Nov. 6, 2009  

Raleigh, N.C. — Potential home buyers got an extra incentive Friday when President Barack Obama signed a bill extending a tax credit for first-time buyers and creating a new one for existing homeowners. 

"The nice thing about this bill is it's not just for the first-time home buyers; it's for existing homeowners as well. The bill gives a $6,400 credit to existing homeowners when they move into a new house. To get the credit, home buyers must meet the following conditions: 

• Contracts must be signed by or on April 30, 2010, and deals must be closed by or one May 31, 2010.
• Existing home buyers must have owned their current house for at least five years.
• Single taxpayers with an adjusted gross income under $125,000 and joint filers with an income of up to $225,000 are eligible for the full credit. Individuals with an income of up to $145,000 or couples with an income of up to $245,000 can receive partial credit.
• Homes worth $800,000 or less are eligible.
• The home must be the buyer's primary residence. It does not apply to second homes or investment properties.
• Members of the military serving outside the United States for more than 90 days will have until June 30, 2011, to qualify for the incentive.
