Housing Predictor, who monitors 250+ residential property markets nationwide stated that Florida seems to be emerging from the real estate slump before any other states, including California.

Would you like an extra $8,000? If you are a first-time homebuyer then we have a great surprise for you.
Last fall, the Federal Government introduced a financial incentive to prospective first-time homebuyers — an income tax credit of up to $7,500. The rules were simple: you must be a first-time homebuyer (which means you have not owned a home in last 3 years) and you met certain income restrictions.
The new $8,000 tax credit is available to those who buy between 01/01/2009 and 12/01/2009. It is not a deduction, but an actual credit. Unlike the $7,500 first-time homebuyer tax credit introduced last summer; this tax credit does not need to be repaid.
First time home buyers who qualify have to make less than $75,000 in adjusted gross income if they’re single or $150,000 if filing jointly. The maximum tax credit is $8,000 or ten percent of the sales price of the home, whichever is less. 3 years residence in the home is required. Be sure to check with your accountant for details and also submit the
IRS form
5405 when you file your taxes.
