FIRST TIME HOME BUYER TAX CREDIT update: GOOD NEWS:)
This post is about Federal first time Home Buyer tax credit.
update:Read my latest post on $8000 first time home buyer tax credit-details explained for latest updates.
Latest News on housing tax credit: US house of representatives has approved Obama's economic stimulus package of $789 billion. The republicans did not block the economic stimulus plan. This is good news and a significant development, because the earlier version of this stimulus plan was blocked by the republicans. Part of this new stimulus package, provides a $8000 housing tax credit for first time home buyers. This housing stimulus is designed to boost the ailing US housing market. The original stimulus package had a proposal for a $15000 housing tax credit. But unfortunately the earlier verstion with $15000 tax credit had to be rolled back to a version with $8000 tax credit in order to get majority support. Previously a $7500 housing tax credit was available to first time home buyers was $7500, so this housing tax credit is still $500 more than the previous one. Note that the senators are yet to vote on the economic stimulus package and then later it will be signed by the president into a law (on 16th February).
Important things every home buyer must know about the $8000 housing tax credit.

I'm confused, I thought that the $7,500 repayment option was suspended. I was waiting to hear whether it is factual that we don't have to repay the money if the tax credit is taken. Please update, I thought President Obama and congress was working on suspending the repayment option.
