There are some really, really good values for today’s homebuyer.  When you have a pre-approval letter in hand from your lender, you will be in a much better position to have your offer seriously considered.   And, first time homebuyers, do not forget about the $8,000 tax credit available to you if you close by December 1, of this year.  Time is running and interest rates are very low.  What a deal!
