House approves homebuyer tax credit extension

Full Story at money.cnn.com

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to give first-time homebuyers three more months to close on their purchases and land an $8,000 federal income tax credit.

But the Senate had better act fast – the deadline is currently Wednesday.

The bill doesn’t help anyone currently shopping for a home. Buyers must have signed a contact by April 30 to qualify for the tax break. At issue is when the deal must be finalized.
