15,000 would help alot and this time only sell to people who have good credit .dont give a loan for 300,000 to a guy making 35,000 year because hes a minority lol

Wouldn’t it be better to encourage behavior that really creates value instead of encouraging people to move house more often? Is people moving house even a good thing? Even if the credit stays restricted to first-time homebuyers, it’s taking customers from people who rent their property.

Can’t wait to sell my house to my neighbor and vice versa. We each get $15,000 and don’t have to move.

How dare congress spend my hard-earned tax dollars so wastefully! They must be stopped! After I get my $15,000 tax credit, though. No use being hasty.

When the bubble stopped inflating, the real estate industry ground to a halt. There is probably a balance somewhere we must find, and the Senators pushing this change feel the $8,000 tax credit wasn’t enough to find that balance. I don’t know if I agree with them, but that’s just my opinion as a potential first-time buyer who would like prices to remain low for my own satisfaction (until right after I buy, of course).
