As a first-time homebuyer that is getting ready to close on a house before the April 30 deadline, I am very interested in this article. I like that the author covers people that are excited about the tax incentive and uses them as their main source of information, because this is an exciting deal for people like me.
As someone who also tried to hurry along our purchase of a new home to obtain that $8,000 it is nice to know there are other people out there doing the same thing. On the other hand, there are people who are not swayed either way by the tax incentive. They don't want to rush their purchase to get a mere $8,000 or so they say. I think that is a lot of money and it helped open our eyes to different houses than what we would normally look at.
My husband and I look forward to using our money to make the house better and fix it up the way we want it. If we were looking at houses and weren't planning on that extra money, I am sure we would have been more picky. We tried to look at this as a positive incentive from the government and I am glad that for the most part other first-time homebuyers are as well.
