Home Buyers Do Not Delay

There is ONLY 3 more months for first time home buyers to get up to $8000 free money from the government if you purchase and close on your home by November 30, 2009. Buyers thinking of a purchase should not wait because competition for affordable properties is fierce. A buyer may have to put in multiple offers to get a property that is not a short sale or wait many months for a short sale to close. The time is NOW to start to start the home search. Buyers Broker of Florida can help you find a home.
