Have you felt any impact on sales due to the Tax Credit for First time buyers?

I am excited as in the Des Moines Iowa metro area the First time Home buyers Tax Credit is stimulating buyers to look and buy homes.  It seems to be having a domino effect as the 1st time buyers buy a home than the move up buyers need to buy a home and so on so we are seeing not only the entry level homes but 2nd and third time buyers.  This is exciting to me and this should help in stimulating our economy.  We just need to keep into perspective that we didn't get into this recession overnight and we shouldn't expect it to repair overnight.  If we focus on the positive and not just the negative we will see things will get better in time.  Do we really want it to get back to the way it was as that could have been one reason that we got were we have been in the last 1-2 years. Buyers now is the time to buy.  Wouldn't it be great to hear more good news instead of all Gloom and Doom?  Can we make this a year of return?  I think we can give it a great shot and make it a good year.

Peggy, Our market has picked up with first time home buyers, investors and out of town buyers. I think that the tax credit has spurred more first time buyers to get off the fence and finally make that decision.
