I really hope you guys can buy! Thats what saved Chris and I! I don't know about the banks out there, but when we bought Bank of America had an awesome first time home buyers deal! Thats who we went with: we got a 40 year loan, 10 years is interest only, then once we hit the 11th year we go to a principle with our interest rate locked in at what we singed at 6.5%. for the next 30 years. God knows we wont be in this small of a house for 40 years, but we couldn't pass it up. We also got a $4,000 1st time hb grant, our builder gave us $3,000 back plus a $1,000 visa gift card. Then my aunt was our realtor and she gave us her 4% commission. So we made out like bandits. Our house was originally 145k and after all was said and done we paid 133k! So I would recommend going and talking to all the banks in your area and see what they can offer you! But dont let anyone run your credit tell you find a bank you like. Loan officers can see how many times and on what dates your credit was pulled and it doesn't look good to have it pulled a lot. Krystal McCarthys last blog post..If I blog it, they will come!

I hope you CAN take advantage of the real estate market. You'll be able to get a house you may not otherwise be eligible for! Good luck! Hyphen Mamas last blog post..Words

We were going to claim the first time home buyer credit this year, until we truly realized that it is a loan that has to get paid back. I haven't officially decided how I feel about the stimulus package. Good luck on the home search, or rental search. I hope that you guys can find a way to get of your lease early!

Well, I hope you do find that perfect home (or at least perfect for a number of years home) so that you will be able to settle in to the next one for a while and not worry about it again for some time. Moving is a lot of work. You two are probably the old pros by now though. I’m glad you seem to be feeling good. Save some of those hearts for Valentine’s Day!
