Mortgage debt has become more appealing for some buyer due to the federal first-time home buyer tax credit, which expires Dec. 1, especially combined with lower home prices and lower interest rates, but the president of Bills.com, Ethan Ewing, has cautioned buyers to be aware of the new changes to mortgage borrowing.
