A record 844,000 prospective homebuyers visited the National Association of Home Builders' FederalHousingTaxCredit.com Web site in February to learn about the new $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers that was enacted last month as part of the landmark $787 billion economic stimulus package.
'We are very pleased and encouraged that so many people are visiting our informational Web site at www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com' said Joe Robson, chairman of the NAHB and a home builder from Tulsa, Okla. 'The spike in traffic on our Web site is a strong indication that the tax credit will help get some fence sitters into the market and will help breathe some life back into the depressed housing market.'
