Housing Credit of $7500 to First Time Home Buyers passes

 There is now a $7500 tax credit to those purchasing a home in the next year.  This should help some of us with mortgage acceleration.

HudAuctionWatch is reporting that the:

Housing and Economic Recovery Act passed, and it offers select homeowners eligibility for a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the purchase price of a home, up to a maximum of $7,500. This credit is $3,750 for married couples filing separately. Unmarried people who jointly purchase a home will be able to divide the $7,500 credit.

Sadly this amount has to be paid back to the government through 15 yearly payments of $500.  But at least it’s an interest free loan!
