Extending and Expanding the Homebuyer Tax Credit. November 11, 2009. The new and beefed up homebuyer tax credit will likely help home sales continue to improve, but does it help in a temporary or long-term manner? While a temporary boost makes us all feel warm and fuzzy, the real focus of any economic program needs to come back around to long-term fixes. The government throwing credit money around to help home sales will mostly leave us with temporarily inflated home prices and a bigger tax bill to pay i...
