Tax credit now covers recent real estate buys
The IRS in Phoenix says revised law allows more real estate purchases to qualify for the federal tax credit. Congress changed the law on June 30 to require a signed statement that the sale price was the lowest offered after Feb 28 1975 and that construction began before March 26 1975, with buyers as first occupants using the home as a principal residence and meeting timing and contract rules.

HUD funds and higher fees are cited as factors, with lenders and unions blaming costs and density rules for the slower market.
