<p><p>I’m 25 years old and thinking about buying a home. I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this “housing credit.” Is this for first time home buyers only or does anyone qualify and how much IS the credit exactly? I’ve heard everything from $3,500 - $15,000.00.</p><br />
<p>Thank you for your time.</p></p>
