Important Announcement from HUD
HUD Announces that state Housing Finance Agencies and certain non-profits are now allowed to "monetize" up to the full amount of the tax credit (depending on the amount of the mortgage) so that borrowers can immediately apply the funds toward their down payments!
Below is a link to the HUD Website outlining some of the information that was announced last week in the ability to use the $8.000. “tax credit” as an immediate benefit toward the purchase of a home. This essentially allows the buyer to use this credit as a down payment. You are encouraged to go to the following link to learn more. http://www.hud.gov/news/release.cfm?content=pr09-072.cfm
If you are in the market for a new home, add Energy Star to your list of “must haves”. Experience greater comfort and lower utility bills.

Learn how Energy Star Requirements make the best builders even better by following visiting EnergyStar.gov
