The bill also provides relief to cash-strapped home builders by providing broader tax benefits for businesses with net operating losses (NOLs). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The legislation, which was signed into law by President Obama on Nov. 6, will extend&amp;nbsp;the $8,000 credit for first-time home buyers for sales contracts entered into by April 30, 2010 and closed on by June 30. It has been expanded to include a new $6,500 credit for owners of existing homes who are purchasing a new principal residence. Existing home owners can claim the $6,500 tax credit if they have been residing in their principal residence for five consecutive years out of the last eight. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more good news, the income eligibility limits to claim the full credit amount for both groups of home buyers have been raised from $75,000 for single taxpayers and $150,000 for married taxpayers filing a joint return to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for married couples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NAHB&amp;rsquo;s consumer-oriented Web site, &lt;a href="http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#333399"&gt;www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, provides complete details on the enhanced home buyer tax credit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NAHB has launched a set of resources at &lt;a href="http://www.nahb.org/taxcreditresources" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#333399"&gt;www.nahb.org/taxcreditresources&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to help association members understand and promote the new tax credit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="293" src="http://www.nbnnews.com/NBN/new/editor_images/nov_9_lede_dodd_and_ugalde.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.colstonrealty.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=568932" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>I Love Louisville</title><link>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/archive/2009/10/21/i-love-louisville.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f44d402f-02ae-4947-a1fb-731827f86e39:560636</guid><dc:creator>Almettie Colston</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/comments/560636.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/commentrss.aspx?PostID=560636</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;a href="http://www.louisville.com/files/possibilitycitylinkx.png"&gt;&lt;img height="133" src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1059557351244&amp;amp;id=dd85d3f5c94cf1bfc81651051c43112a&amp;amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.louisville.com%2ffiles%2fpossibilitycitylinkx.png" width="160" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.louisville.com/content/possibility-city" title="possibility-city"&gt;&lt;font color="#0066a7"&gt;possibility-city&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My husband and I have traveled all over the world and have found Louisville is the absolutely best place to live. Louisville has great parks. The best dinning in the world, once you have tried Vincenzo&amp;rsquo;s you will agree. Louisville has great theaters, museums and shopping. The best place to raise a family. Located in the mid south eastern section of the United States, Louisville has easy and fast access to Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Florida, and South Carolina. Louisville has low crime and lots of friendly people. Once you have visited here you won&amp;rsquo;t want to leave. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Almettie Colston Loves Louisville &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sclou.org/store/images/louisville.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img height="142" src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1336005495743&amp;amp;id=4849f7a73755a539e81c692fcab0a9ac&amp;amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sclou.org%2fstore%2fimages%2flouisville.jpeg" width="211" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.everythinglouisville.com/"&gt;&lt;font color="#0066a7"&gt;http://www.everythinglouisville.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.colstonrealty.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=560636" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>121 Day Pledge</title><link>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/archive/2009/09/22/836a3b07230849238af2aa6c729bb98f.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f44d402f-02ae-4947-a1fb-731827f86e39:524942</guid><dc:creator>Almettie Colston</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/comments/524942.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/commentrss.aspx?PostID=524942</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pledge to sell your home in 121 days or less. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.colstonrealty.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=524942" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/archive/tags/Announcements/default.aspx">Announcements</category></item><item><title>Open House in Crescent Hill on Sunday</title><link>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/archive/2009/08/19/8f3ad3314be143d59aee4e084551ac03.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:01:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f44d402f-02ae-4947-a1fb-731827f86e39:509969</guid><dc:creator>Almettie Colston</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/comments/509969.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.colstonrealty.com/blogs/almettie_colston/commentrss.aspx?PostID=509969</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p style="float:right;margin-left:10px;"&gt;
