I have received several calls over the last couple of days by buyers and even some real estate agents who believe the home buyer tax credit has been extended.  While it is true that congress has extended the closing date to September 30th, the extension only applies to those people who already had a ratified contract in place as of April 30, 2010.   The extension will likely benefit thousands of homebuyers who were unable to close by the June 30th deadline.

The only exemption from the April 30, 2010 date are homebuyers who have served in the military, foreign service, and intelligence community outside of the USA for at least 90 days during the period of December 230, 2008 through May 1, 2010.  This select group of people may still be eligible to receive the $8,000 or $6,500 home buyer tax credit through April 30, 2011.
