That stinks... especially if you bought a house in December 2008. Unlike the $7500 credit, this one does not need to be repaid. Damn!
If you are considering buying a house, I'd say go for it this year and claim this credit. $8k is a pretty sweet deal. Plus, you'll get some deductions on your mortgage interest, which can be pretty significant during the first few years.
I'm hoping I can trade in my college car ('97 model) for a new one and claim the taxes as deduction for this year's tax.
