If you think that waiting to buy a house in Hernando County on Florida's West Coast will get you a better deal, you need to start re-thinking. Affordable houses are moving off the market almost as quickly as they are coming on. Foreclosures, especially, move quickly and if you want the best deal you need to be ready. Getting pre-qualified for a loan or having your proof of funds ready for a cash deal puts you in the position to jump on the best deals as they come on the market. Also, working with a Buyer's Agent who can watch the market for you and alert you to the best deals is a must.

And there is still time to qualify for the first time home buyer credit of up to $8,000 or the 2nd home credit of up to $6,500. If you choose a foreclosure property or anything that is not a short sale, you can still be under contract by April 30th and close by June 30th to get your credit.

These deals won't last forever. Come check out the incredible deals in Spring Hill and Brooksville on Florida's Nature Coast. You won't be sorry!
