Update: Will the 'Closing' Deadline for the Home Buyer Tax Credit Be Extended?

A quick update:  National Association of REALTORS is putting pressure on the federal government to extend the closing deadline so that buyers who ratified a contract for a home purchase by April 30th, 2010 but who can not close by the current deadline (June 30th) can still receive the tax credit if they were otherwise qualified.  This measure passed the House today, and could go to the Senate for a vote as early as tomorrow.  Stay tuned for more information as this story develops.
