The Senate voted 60-37 on Wednesday to extend until the end of September the deadline for completing home sales and still qualifying for a popular home buyer's tax credit.
Only buyers who signed contracts by April 30 could take advantage of the extension. Without it, buyers must close the deal by the end of June to get the $8,000 first-time credit or the $6,500 credit for certain people who already own homes.
The amendment was added to a bill that would extend the law that provides extra unemployment benefits.
