The $8000 Dollar Tax credit that is available to first time buyers until Dec. 1, 2009 is a great thing... but many of us have asked how does that help people BUY a house right now?
Well, many states are helping us out with that! Colorado, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexica, New Jersey, Delaware, and Idaho have set up short term loans through their housing finance agencies (HFA's) to make that credit available at closing. This will help many borrowers with closing costs and down payment, and could do more to stimulate our housing market than many of the programs that are being discussed.
Florida needs a program like this!
