    webwombat.comwebwombat.comCongress has passed new legislation that will extend the deadline to close on a home beyond June 30 and still receive the $8,000 first time homebuyer credit or the $6,500 existing homebuyer tax credit. The new deadline to close is September 30.

    But this only applies to purchases already under contract on or before April 30.
