The history of the tax credit on Real Estate Now
I welcome readers from the print edition of The Boston Globe. Some of you may be here for the first time.
My entry that was noted at the bottom of Jenifer McKim’s article today is this one.
(Boston.com online readers were sent right to it, but newspaper readers would need to scroll down a bit to find it.)
I have been writing about this $8000 credit since February, when I explained how to calculate adjusted gross income to be sure you qualify for it.
I explained how the credit works.
I posted another resource about how it works in April.
In May, June and July, I followed the story about promises to make the $8000 available as down payment. First, it was yes; then it was no; then it was yes again.
Then I explained how to use your $8000 toward your down payment.
At the end of September, my co-blogger, Scott Van Voorhis, and I had quite a discussion about this credit going on. Scott covers the market issues. He wrote on the possible extension for 2010. and what the real estate market looks like, vis a vis justifying the extension.
That same week, I wrote about what would-be buyers should consider as the credit deadline looms on the near horizon in one piece.
And again in the one that Jenifer noted that you could look at.
