Now is the time to jump into the market if you qualify for the $8000 First-time Homebuyer tax credit. Buyers have through November 30, 2009 to find a home, secure financing and close the transaction to be eligible for Florida's down payment assistance program.
This program allows buyers to borrow the amount of the tax credit, use the funds as a down payment and repay the loan after you've received your tax refund. It is a great program. For more information go here:
