what about all of the people left out of the $6,500 tax credit for buyers who move-up and purchase a more expensive home. the new rules are for those who bought a home after November 6, 2009. i closed escrow on october 28th. i previous lived in a 35 year old mobile home, so i was not considered a first time home buyer and bought my new home a few weeks to early and lost out on $6,500, so much for the government helping all of its citzens. Some of us got screwed.

I totally agree! I have about 3 friends that have been stressing themselves out about this deadline, 2 out the 3 have already closed, for it to just be extended?? It was a complete slap in the face!

Courtney – “free money”? Not quite. Every cent of money not taken in by the IRS and the government is made up for somewhere else. And you know who ends up paying for it? You and I and every other taxpayer in America (with interest).

It’s free money! So stop complaining. People should be thankful for receiving any help at all

Missy—My wife and I are in our best year of our respective careers and will make about $180K combined this year. We would not have qualified for the credit without the income changes and the reason we were able to purchase a house is because we worked our butts off and found great jobs in this terrible economy. Is it fair for those who worked hard to not get the credit because they have increased their income each year?

Buyers who took “advantage” of version one still got a tax credit. Those who take advantage of the second will as well. It is like the guy who bought a car a month before the clunker program.
