This is an incredible time to be a buyer... the $7500 tax credit for first time homebuyers will create an interesting opportunity for many people to achieve the dream of home ownership.

 

Here is a link to today's New York Times article regarding the provisions of this new law:

Many changes will take place with regard to third party down payment programs like Genesis, Ameridream, Liberty Gold, Nehemiah; these will all be eliminated.  Do you think this will have a really negative impact in the market?

 

I feel that this is going to have a positive impact in Greater Cleveland, and in my area in particular, which is Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights, which has been strongly impacted by the mortgage market meltdown.
