A new survey reveals that savvy consumers cashing in on the new and improved homebuyer tax credit are helping fuel economic recovery.
The vast majority of current homeowners say they would spend the expanded version of the homebuyer tax credit on repaying existing debts, home improvements, savings and investments and household expenses, according to a Century 21 survey of 1,000 homeowners.
Paying off debts affords consumers more spending power, home improvements likewise put more equity money in their pockets and savings and investments generate income.
Consumer spending, of course, is the real fuel for the nation's economic engine. And much consumer spending is fueled by the housing market -- provided the housing market is energized.
Helping to energize the housing market and the economy is the idea behind the homebuyer tax credit and it's recent extension and expansion.
