If you move on them NOW!!!!
I have 2 listings that are very cute and NOT a bank owned or a short sale.  You can even have possession at close and both of them qualify for just about the full amount of the $8,000 1st time home buyers credit.  Well, 110 Graceland qualifies for the full amount - depending on your qualification to receive the full amount of course.
