How long can you push back and delay a closing? 1 week, maybe 2?

Any new word on how close this bill is to getting to sign?

I would hate to sign papers then NEXT week, I miss out on this tax credit.
try to postpone it as much you can without paying any penalty from your hand. May be you can use the "WALK THROUGH INSPECTION" as a reason to delay, I dont know.
But looks like they will come to the conclusion today which is not certain, thats what they demanded. If they do it today, it may take week or 2 weeks to sign from president and also no one knows that what date it will be effective?
Hope for the best...hope they will pass the bill from Jan 1,2009 to Dec 31,2009. So that """we""" can get our tax money back...

It's been (quite) a while since I studied Government, but doesn't this still have to be approved in the House? I think that's where the problem lies...the Senate, I believe, was more generous than the House would like.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...like I need to ask! LOL

The House passed their version already. The Senate passed theirs today. Now starts the fun part. Negotiating the differences between the two to put out a complete bill.

Lawmakers hope to seal stimulus deal today - Capitol Hill- msnbc.com

Not sure what this means from the article:

"Baucus had said earlier that $35.5 billion to provide a $15,000 homebuyer tax credit, approved in the Senate last week, would be cut back."

One of the few things that would have gotten me to spend any money. Whatever I get at this point will just go toward paying down my mortgage.

Finally I think Its wiped out...son of guns...2009 i will be paying $10K property tax + $20K-$25K from job -- I am paying $35K; Anyhow thats the way it is...

"""""""""""Working to accommodate the new, lower overall limit of the bill, negotiators effectively wiped out a Senate-passed provision for a new $15,000 tax credit to defray the cost of buying a home, these officials said. The agreement would allow taxpayers to deduct the sales tax paid on new car purchases, but not the interest on loans for the same vehicles."""""""""""""

Stimulus pared to $789 billion in race for deal (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090211/ap_on_go_co/congress_stimulus - broken link)

Again but here....
"""""""""""
Nelson also confirmed what CNN reported last night, that negotiators are scaling back a Senate-passed tax credit for homebuyers and are likely to eliminate a tax deduction for car buyers.
Earlier in the day, top lawmakers and White House officials told CNN that after working late into the night Tuesday, they were cautiously optimistic a deal could be reached as early as Wednesday."""""""""''
