Now California Has It’s Own Home-Buyer Tax Credit

Yesterday, CA’s Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law new legislation that allocates $200M in tax credits for first-time home buyers: (1) $100M for buying new constrution and (2) $100M for buying a resale property.  The tax credit would be the lesser of 5% of the purchase price or $10K and would be credited/paid over 3 years.  The buyer must purchase the home between May 1 and December 31, 2010 and use the home as a primary residence for at least 2 years or face paying the credit back.  As more information on the program becomes available, I will post it here.  In the meantime, check out the press release from CAR. http://images.agentcenter.com/client/3/2/4/36423/CAR_Applauds_Homebuyer_Tax_Credit_Legislation.pdf
