Breaking news folks !!!! I am happy to inform you that the House of Representatives just voted to give first-time homebuyers three more months to close on their purchases and land an $8,000 federal income tax credit. But the Senate had better act in the next 24 hours...the deadline is currently June 30 and will be extended until september 30th 2010 .
