If we had known this was on the horizon, would that have kept you guys off the fence until the package was passed? Sean, it's definitely going to get some people at least more interested than they were, I think. It's not REALLY free money, though - it's costing tax payers somewhere north of $270 billion (and I can't find the link for that right now, but it's somewhere in there). Nevertheless it's likely going to get some people off the fence - perhaps you? Phil – that’s a good point, particularly for folks like you and your family.

Are you kidding me? I can imagine this would strongly encourage TONS of people to buy houses this year. 15k is just crazy. We're not planning on selling our house and buying a new one for at least 2 more years, but I think I would definitely consider doing it this year for 15k! I mean think about it, that's like um 15k of free money. I would also think it would help our house to SELL because more people would be looking to buy. Maybe it's a good thing I can't get a bank to call me back about refinancing, we'll just wait a little until this whole thing shakes out! 15k? Are you kidding me?

I think it should be somewhat retroactive to catch the people that have, unbeknownst to them, been "stimulating" the economy the last 6 months. 15k is a lot of money and it upsets somebody like me who bought a house (not my first house so I don’t qualify for that break) last fall with my hard-earned money, but may not have bought at the “right” time to get this tax credit.
