A buyer I am working with sent this to me on Friday. I hadn't herd of this at all and I was wondering what all or you thought. It appears that this would be a $15,000 tax credit for all buyers, not just FTHB. It looks to me that Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA) is the one pushing for this. What do all of you make of this.

This was on the table earlier this year before it was cut down to the current $8,000 version. Doubt that it will get enough support in Congress.

I think the 8000 credit for first timers is providing a pretty good kick. I doubt they would up that.

I know of at least one buyer who is waiting to see if this goes anywhere before buying.

Thanks for the post. I didn't even know they are considering doing the $15,000 tax credit again. With this news, I am sure there will be some FTHB that might wait a month or 2 to see what will happen.

It doesn't sound like this is going to go anywhere. Senator Johnny Isakson is the only person that is really pushing for this. The problem that rumors like this cause is a lack of motivation among buyers. Having people like Isakson continue to pitch the $15k tax credit only slows us down.

I wish this stuff would not end up in the main stream media. It is such a long shot when the treasury is already having a hard time placing bond debt. There really isn't enough money for this sort of a play. It would be nice if it came to fruition, however I have had 4 buyers park it to find out what happens. One of them had a friend that bought a house in December and so missed out on the 8k tax credit.
