$8000 Credit Spurs Home Buying

Joann Weber, of Midtown Realty, changes the sign from “Sale Pending” to “Sold” at a home that just sold in Palo Alto, Calif. Real estate agents are working seven days a week. Homebuilders are staying open until 10 p.m. All of this frenzy is to make sure first-time homeowners can qualify for an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers that expires tomorrow.
