First time home buyer programs (WHAT is a FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER)
There are a few options for first time home-buyers that are GREAT opportunities to save money when you go to purchase your home. First off, a first time home buyer is someone who has not owned a home in the last 6 months (so don't let the term confuse you).
The one that I'm a fan of is the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (FUNDS are available for this program as of 2/2/2012). This program is a GREAT option for you but it is a little complicated to explain. The best thing is for you to call me and I'll put you in touch with one of my lenders that REALLY understands this program.
Many lenders shy away from this program because of it's complexity so make sure you call me when you start looking for your lender. When I say it is complex, I mean that it requires a little more work on the lenders/Realtors/Title company. It does require an online home buyer class but that is the extent on the buyers end.

Mortgage Rates Fall But Stay Above 5%
McLEAN, Va. – Rates for long-term mortgages dropped this week but still remained above 5 percent, mortgage financier Freddie Mac said Thursday.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 5.07 percent this week, down from 5.21 percent a week earlier, a survey by Freddie Mac said. Last week's average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage had been the highest since mid-August, when it was 5.29 percent.
Rates had dropped to a record low of 4.71 percent in December, pushed down by a campaign by the Federal Reserve to reduce borrowing costs for consumers. The program ended at the end of March, but the Fed left the door open to reviving the program if the economy weakens.
"After rising for four consecutive weeks, mortgage rates eased back to where they were two weeks ago and still remain historically low," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's chief economist.
This week, the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.4 percent, down from 4.52 percent last week.
Rates on five-year, adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 4.08 percent, down from 4.25 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages dipped to 4.13 percent from 4.14 percent.
The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount.

15 days and couting
You need a home. You want to purchase a home. There is $8,000 that is currently available to you to help you puchase your home if you haven't owned a home in the last 3 years. However, you are seriously running short on time. You need to have your home under contract in 15 days. If you need to get help immediatley, do not hesitate to contact me today.
I have had a lot of first time homebuyers dragging their feet even though I have explained what a great opportunity this is for them. They may thing that I'm trying to put the hard sell on them. That could be further from the truth. If I was in their poisition, I would be jumping on this great deal! I had to buy my house with no tax credit. What a great way to make $8,000 right off the bat.
I have closed plenty of first time homebuyers that are enjoying their $8,000 tax credits. I credit them for seizing on a great opportunity.
