🔥 FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! 🏡
Nobody's talking about this, and I think we need to.
📉 NATIONWIDE PENDING HOME SALES JUST HIT THEIR LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2001.
Buyers are backing off. People are waiting. And plenty of would-be homeowners have convinced themselves they simply can't afford to buy.
But here's what's happening right here in Maine…
🏡 MAINEHOUSING'S FIRST HOME LOAN PROGRAM IS OFFERING A 5.95% INTEREST RATE.
💰 Eligible buyers may qualify for UP TO $5,000 TOWARD CLOSING COSTS through the Advantage option.
AND THERE'S MORE…
Were you in foster care? Or would you be the FIRST person in your family to own a home?
👀 MaineHousing's First Generation program may offer eligible buyers $10,000 toward down payment and closing costs. Eligibility requirements apply!
Read that again.
While you're waiting for the market to magically become perfect, there may be programs available right now that could help make homeownership more realistic.
🔥 WHAT IF THE OPPORTUNITY ISN'T WAITING… BUT FINDING OUT WHAT YOU QUALIFY FOR?
I'm not saying every buyer should run out and buy a house tomorrow. Your finances have to make sense, and buying isn't the right move for everyone.
But if owning your first home is a goal, why not explore your options before ruling yourself out?
The market is moving. Programs have requirements. And the best time to start asking questions is BEFORE you're ready to make an offer.
FIRST-TIME BUYERS: LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT MAY BE POSSIBLE.
Send me a message. Let's start the conversation.
