The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed by President Obama last week included language that extends the $8,000 first-time buyers credit to homes purchased to Dec. 1 of this year.
First-time buyers are considered anyone who has not owned a home for the past three years.
The home purchased must be owner-occupied.
Another condition is that the buyer must have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less if the buyer is single and $150,000 or less for married buyers. Partial credits may be given for some buyers who exceed these limits.

Obama Unveils Housing Plan
President Obama's Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan was revealed today.
According to the plan, $75 billion will be made available for up to nine million homeowners at risk of losing their homes and/or providing refinancing options to make their payments more affordable.
The White House put a Q&A about the plan on its blog right here.
It's way too early to know how this will all play out but the initial reaction was favorable.
