Do you think he will extend?  There's already been one extension - but I've heard that they may come out with a $6500 credit that will phase itself down by $500 a month until it is at the minimun amount of $3000 or $3500??   Have you heard about this?  Let me know! What does the Washington lobbyist for NAR have to say about it?    I sure hope their lobbyist has done something.                                                   Gene Mock ~ Making It Easy!
