With the passage of the stimulus package, there is an $8,000 dollar refundable tax credit for first-time home buyers in 2009 ('refundable' means if you only paid $7,000 total in taxes, they'll still give you the last $1000) -- Essentially, the government gives you $8,000 if you buy a house this year...This sounds like a pretty amazing deal to me...

Thanks...I need it! I had a nightmare last night that the mortgage payment and bills amounted to slightly more than my monthly income and slowly chipped away at my bank accounts until I had nothing left. But I don't think that would really happen...!

Buying a house is CRAZY let me tell you. We've been trying to buy the house we live in forever. We pay everything now as it is so it's like we own it already. Even with me working we still have no money for anything because it all goes to the house.

I guess what I mean is, go for it and buy a house. BUT they're more expensive then you think.

Good luck getting your dream home :)

yeaaahhhh they are expensive. But I make super sweet monies! As long as the roof doesn't need to be replaced soon......that's like 10K.
