If you are currently thinking of buying a home, then here is some more food for thought. If you are a first time home buyer, you are currently being offered a tax credit to purchase a home. For these purposes, a first time home buyer is considered anyone who has not owned property in the past three years.
The credit will have to be paid back at the rate of $500 a year, but it is an excellent oppertunity to recieve a credit that can be used for investment purposes.
With prices low, interest rates low, and inventory high, now is definitely the time to buy a home. If you are thinking about buying a home, now is a great opportunity to get in touch with a Realtor or a lender and see how they can help you in the process. Don't wait around until it is too late or let fear stop you from attaining your dreams. Now is the time to find out if you qualify for a mortgage to buy your new home.
For more information on the tax credit, interest rates, or the housing market here in Columbia, SC, please feel free to contact me at any time. The Columbia, SC real estate market is a great market, and now is the time to throw your hat in the race and find your new home.

JL...
This is a great incentive for first time home buyers to consider purchasing a home right now!
Mortgage rates are moving at a significant rate right now, too! Buyers need to get off the fence!
With the interest rates down this is a real bonus!
Richard- I sure think so.
Amanda- Rates are very low at the moment, it's time to take advantage of it.
Bill- I couldn't agree more.
I heard mortgage rates went down again today. That's great for the buyers out there! Let's hope some more buyers get off the fence and make a great investment - before the market starts to rise on them again.
April- One thing is for sure, those that wait too long, will miss out.
