What's Next For Housing, After Buyer Tax Credit Expires?
Time is running out for prospective home buyers to take advantage of a generous tax credit. The credit offers up to eight-thousand dollars to buyers who meet certain qualifications — but only if they sign a contract by the end of the month. Local real estate experts say the credit has served its purpose to get more people who were already thinking about buying a home to hurry up and do it. But what's next for the market, once the tax credit expires, isn't clear. David Pitman reports.
