The clock is ticking on the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers.  In order to qualify for the credit, you must be a first time home buyer OR not have owned a home in the last 3 years.  This credit does NOT have to be paid but the closing MUST be before December 1, 2009.  That date is going to creep up on you before you know it.  If you want a newly constructed home, then that means, construction needs to start sometime in June and no later than July.
