$8000 Tax Credit

Purchase a home now and take advantage of the new tax credit of up to $8000.

A benefit that makes your new home more affordable.

A tax credit is available for first-time home buyers under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009. If you buy a home between January 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009, you may be eligible to receive a tax credit for 10% of the purchase price of your home - up to $8000. Program highlights include:

• Any individual (and if married, their spouse) who has had no ownership interest in a principle residence during the last three years is eligible
• Full credit for single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 ($150,000 on a joint return); partial credit for incomes up to $95,000 ($170,000 joint return)
• Applies to the purchase of a single-family home (including condos, co-ops, town homes, etc.) that will be used as a principal residence
• Home buyers can reduce (or even eliminate) their income tax liability for the year of purchase by claiming the credit on their tax return*
• If the home is sold before 3 years, the first-time home buyer (who is now the seller) must pay the IRS the entire amount of the tax credit at closing
