It's been nearly a month since President Barrack Obama announced his Stimulus Plan, which includes an $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers.  Some critics claimed it wasn't enough, especially since original drafts of the plan included a $15,000 credit.  Other were disappointed that only first time homebuyers could benefit.  Builders of new homes were disappointed on both scores.  The plan as noted in the chart below has some income restrictions.
