Congress must have been paying attention (or I tripped on something that other people agreed with!) and the $8,000 Tax Credit was extended this week.

Nice blogging really.The U.S. Senate is considering extending and expanding the home buyers' tax credit to help prop up the still-reeling housing market. Under the proposal, the $8,000 credit for first-time buyers would be extended to cover purchases into next spring – buyers must sign contracts by April 30 and close within 60 days.
