As of right now, you only have until June 30th to close on your future home loans, in order to qualify for the $8000.00 tax credit being offered by the government.  the $8000.00 is for first time home buyers.

If you are an existing home owner and are closing on a new home, which will be your primary residence, then you qualify for a $6500.00 tax credit.

A word of advice, only close on homes that have value, that will have value over time, and that you can afford.  Do not set out to purchase a home and incorporate the tax credit as part of your equation.  You either have the funds or job security to afford what you want to but or you don’t.
