Freddie’s HomeSteps special financing for their foreclosed properties has been extended to Jan 31, 2010. Why don’t they just extend it for 6 months at a time–instead of month to month? Updated MortgageTalkingPoints(r) posted on the site.

This Just Out - The House voted (10-13-09) to extend the $8,000 tax credit to MILITARY, Foreign Service & Intelligence Officers until 11-30-10. They have to qualify using the same 1st time buyer rules and they have to have had 90 days of continuous military service during 2009. One new provision: If the military person is forced to sell their home (within the 3 year period) due to military orders or deployment - they will not have to pay back the $8,000. It’s expected to sail thru the Senate shortly.
