For the past 3 years they have provided grants to first time home buyers and this year they are able to offer $10,000 grants to qualified applicants. The following are bullets about the program and the income levels for the program in both NH and VT.

• Up to $10,000 for down payment or closing costs. The funds are available at closing.
• The grant is for 1st time home buyers.  This is defined as someone that hasn’t owned a home in the past 3-years.
• Can be used to purchase single family home, condo or Manufactured Home on it’s own land. (MHs in parks are not eligible)
• The grant is a 5-year grant.  The home owner pays nothing if they own the home for 5-years.  If they sell prior to that they pay back a pro-rated share.
• Income levels vary from town to town – state to state but the range is from around $38,000 for a single person to around $74,000 for a family of eight in NH and around $35,000 for a single person to around $67,000 for a family of eight in VT.

When you include the Federal Tax Credit of $8000 and the interest rates that continue to be very good – this can be the perfect time to purchase your first home.
