Pulte ponies up some extra ca$h

I hope they write a check, that's a tiny pig.

Pulte was pretty quick in spinning this FTHB tax credit last week and taking it a step further. The email states “At Pulte Homes, we believe that everybody deserves a jump-start on moving into a new home. That’s why we’re giving at least $7,500** in savings to ALL of our homebuyers!” The disclaimer states that this may be used as part of or in addition to existing offers, but $7500 alone is a nice chunk of change. If you read my post below on the tax credit, you won’t be surprised that I think this is a better deal than getting it from Uncle Sam!

I also want to give an extra point to Pulte for going after previous or current homeowners. In most cases, unless they have a home to sell, they’re easier to qualify for a loan. Notice it was only ONE point. A buyer with a home to sell might as well have the credit score of a teenager. Good luck.
