EXCITING NEWS!

Exciting news for First-Time Homebuyers! In just a few days, on March 27th, the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) is launching a new program called “California Dream For All”. This program is designed to provide up to 20% of the Down Payment and Closing Costs for eligible homebuyers. #CaliforniaDeamForAll #CaDream #AmericanDream Click here for the web site: CalHFA CA DREAM For All.
What sets this program apart from other CalHFA programs is its unique feature of shared appreciation. What this means is that when the home is eventually sold, the initial 20% loan will need to be repaid along with a percentage of the appreciation, which is set at 15% – 20% with a cap of 2.5% of the original amount. Essentially, the shared appreciation feature allows the program to be sustainable over time, so more people can continue to benefit from it in the future. #SharedAppreciation #SharedEquity
While there are income limits and credit score requirements for the program, they are very generous, making this an excellent opportunity for many individuals and families who may have otherwise struggled to afford a home. The income limits for San Francisco San Mateo Counties for example are $300,000. While across the Bay Area, Alameda and Contra Costa counties loan limits are $282,000. While Sacramento is $202, 000, which is still very generous.
As a seller, this may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
The “California Dream For All” program could be a game-changer for many people, as it offers an incredible chance for homebuyers to get into a new home with much less financial burden. This program could potentially help many families and individuals achieve their dream of homeownership, who may have thought it impossible before. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, be sure to mark your calendar for March 27th and explore this unique opportunity for yourself.
