Tax Credit Extension until April 2010?

Looking to buy? How about some help from Uncle Sam?
Senators agreed to extend the homebuyers tax credit.
Key Points:
1. Extended the tax credit to June 2010.
2. Available to individuals earning up to $125K, or $250K for couples, up from $75K for individuals and $150K for couples
3. Expanded to include current homeowners.
Why?
Government understands the need for an end to falling home prices. This is designed to inject $10 billion into the housing market. This should help and support a rebound in housing.
Total Cost? $10 Billion Dollars
The Impact?
This is good news. Home sales dropped recently as the end of the initial homebuyers credit was ending. It's very clear the housing recovery is critical to the end of the recession. This move will certainly add buyers to the market and should benefit the housing market.
