Central Ohio - Move Up Buyers Tax Credit

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit was extended.

The bill passed the senate.

The bill  passed the house.

I recently  saw on Twitter that it has been signed by President Obama (don't believe everything you see on Twitter. )

It's the Home Buyer Tax Credit for the rest of you

Up to $6,500 for move up buyers. If you've lived in your home 5 of the past 8 years... 

I'm looking for something like this chart:

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit is extended until April 30, 2010.

"This year's increase in sales has come at a cost - to sellers.

The average price of a single-family residence sold in Central Ohio has dropped to $161,149, a significant dip from the $170,177 average in February 2005. "  According to an article in Columbus Business first from information provided by the Columbus Board of REALTORS®  "The Columbus Board of Realtors president, said average prices are down because more-affordable houses are selling, with the $100,000 to $180,000 and $200,000 to $250,000 price ranges increasingly popular. "

What a great time to be a buyer!
