They will help potential sellers. They will also help you as a home owner, because they will push prices upward, which will help keep you above water. They won't help buyers much though.

I agree totally. What happens when the $8000 credit goes away? And as for the lower interest rates, again what do you think will happen to the price of a home if interest rates go up? And if homes are still dropping in value while interest rates go up.... yikes..... I will keep watching and not buy until I see some signs of stabilization in the market.

As for data that the Philly market is still dropping, here is a site I watch:
