Former real estate agent Sen. Johnny Isakson is helping out his Realtor pals by getting Congress to pass another round of homebuyer tax credits. Looks like the $8,000 credit, which was supposed to expire at the end of November, will be extended to April 30. It looks like it'll also be granted to families with higher incomes than before and offered at a lower level ($6,500) to "move-up" buyers, as long as they have lived in their present homes for five years. (The first one was for first-time buyers only.)

But this is really truly the last housing giveaway, Isakson says. And this time he means it!

"Tax credits like this only work by creating the sense of urgency to take advantage of them. This is the last extension of the home buyer tax credit, and I urge all Americans whether they're first-time buyers who've always dreamed of having a home of their own or someone who's been gridlocked in the failure of our move-up market to take advantage of this opportunity."
