It’s been three years since the date I settled the sale of my last home. Am I now eligible for the first time home buyer credit, or are the three years full calendar years from January 1 – January 1? Below is all I can find on the matter:

The timing is handled by the date. Thus, if you closed on the sale of your house on January 4, 2007, you become a first time buyer again on January 5, 2010.
