8000 tax credit: Are First Time Homebuyers Better Off Waiting Until After The $8,000 Credit Expires? - 10/19/09 04:16 PM
Picture this, Real Estate is SLOWWW. Where do we start?
With the first time buyers of course, we give them the confidence and incentives to buy. This stabilizes the bottom, and even encourages a little growth in the lower end of the market. I know in the Belfair Washington Real Estate Market, if you have a newer home under $200,000 3 beds, 2 bath with a decent lot, your home is gold.
