If that is not enough of an incentive the federal government has created an additional incentive; if you’re a first time homebuyer and purchase a home within 2009 you could be eligible for a federal housing tax credit of up to $8,000.00.
All though lenders have revised their qualifying criteria’s they are motivated to finance current and future homeowners; many of you have the option of a government insured loan, FHA, that requires as little as 3.5% down payment and a loan amount a high as $697,500.00 and if you are a veteran you can purchase a home with a zero down payment.
