California recently announced its own stimulus push to improve home business in its own state and the effort mirrors the recent boost by the federal government. This bill will go a long way in improving the current moribund industry in the state which first faced the housing bubble which led to soaring prices.
And now the opposite is being observed where folks who brought homes at a high price cannot meet their mortgage obligations.
So if you are looking for the
California Home Buyer 10000 Tax Credit
here are the details below:
At this moment we do not know how the tax credit would work but the broader details are as followed:
Entitled on new homes brought between March 1, 2009 and March 1, 2010 (must be new construction to meet the minimum requirements).
- $10,000 credit paid in 3 annual installments of $3,333. Home buyers will not get any money back but will get the $3,333 off their taxes for the first three years after purchasing the new home.
- There are no income restrictions, implying that all of the home prices and incomes can take part in this federal program.
Further details - CA Home Buyer Tax Credit
- Any home buyer buying a new home qualifies. You do not have to be a first-time buyer as in the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit.
- Unfinished escrows or recent home sales have not been determined to be eligible at this point, although it will be determined shortly.
- The total credit is $100 million which works out to 10,000 home sales that would qualify under the California Home Buyer Tax Credit program.


Is this a refundable tax credit, or not?
