Sounds like you have a good plan and have thought it out. @El Cheapo- I understand you feeling that way- I am sure there are others that feel the same as well. @Jim- I agree with your thinking- if I was in a little bit further along, I would try to take advantage of the credit also.

However, most, if not all of them would have probably bought a house anyways. So I guess they all get a little extra in their tax refund. But I'm just a little bitter that I didn't get anything for buying a house back in 2007, but I'm sure a lot of people are in my situation.

Wed, 13 May 2009 02:33:16 +0000 http://www.thinkyourwaytowealth.com/?p=1904#comment-2042 I have actually looked at it in a different light. By getting the tax credit, we are able to pay off more debt while at the same time building up equity in our house. Luckily, one of debts is right at $8,000 to be paid off, which will free $265 a month once it is paid for. I guess each situation is different...just something to think about!

Although I do not think I am going to make it in time for the deadline (still paying down debt!), I think it is definitely a good deal if you are ready. Congrats! @Jim- That is good to hear.

I know of many people who are buying homes now who would have waited, including myself. We are a week from closing. Plus, the real estate agents are claiming to picking up quite significantly on business for first-time homebuyers. With rates at near an all-time low, and the $8000 tax credit, now is the perfect time to cash in on your long-term wealth potential! I believe it is doing a pretty good job at it thus far.
