Why they dont give you a tax free stimulus in the house note... make it tax free after 10 years or something like that or for life.... It is not enough to just pay taxes of your paycheck you have to pay taxes off everything this is ridiculous...

This is worst than a druglord or a loanshark outside of your house waiting for you to pay him for his loan...

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).
