Seems like we are finally digging out of the snow! Good thing too (real estate wise) because there is a lot of pent up demand, lots of good incentives to buy and the banks are helping (go figure, low rates...)

Anyway, the IRS tax credit for first time home buyers ($8,000) and repeat buyers ($6,500) is expiring in April. You can get it if you have a house under contract by April 30, 2010. There are other rules (see www.irs.gov) but that is the main one.

It's open house season too! Some agents don't like them but I LOVE 'em.
