Is the $8,000 tax credit for 1st time homebuyers likely to incent you to buy a home this year?

    According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS®, homebuyers will purchase an additional 300,000 homes in 2009 as a result of the tax credit.

    That's a good thing and should help things out. Besides, the first time homebuyer's tax credit is just that, a credit. Not like the 2008 credit, which is more like a loan, that has to be repaid over 15 years.

    I know it's a simple-sounding question, but yes/no doesn't cover all the possibilities.

    I am planning to buy a house this year but can't do it until I can sell the current one.

    I also won't be able to do it if I'm not able to get financing.
