We bought our home in October 2008, we received the 7500 & tax credit that we have to pay back. Now they have other tax credits that do not have to be paid back. Is there anything we can do? And do we qualify for the new 6500 $ credit?

Is the $6500 tax credit available to homeowners who purchased a home in June 2009 (and owned a home for required 5+ years) or just to buyers who purchase the home after November 6, 2009? I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Give the tax credits to new build homes. It would create a tremendous amount of jobs which would mean less foreclosures and give a real boost to the economy.

It doesn' do much for the economy to give a tax credit to people that sell and then buy a used home. (Makes to much sense!)

We bought a home 3 and a half years ago. Are we eligable for either tax credit, or do we fall through the cracks?

Quite honestly I see the tax credit, at the very least, a step in the right direction to put an end to this housing crisis. The real problem is that many more homeowners are going to fall victims of foreclosure as the next wave of foreclosures hit. According to Credit Suisse, this upcoming wave is expected to be larger than the last wave of foreclosures, and will begin this summer and peak during the summer of 2011. The current tax credit will do nothing to stop it however. The banking industry is to blame for all of this and they are the only ones that will get us out of it. The problem is they are sitting idley by doing nothing.
