There was an article in the Estes Park Trail Gazette today by Juley Harvey explaining all the benefits available to first time home buyers in Estes Park. I thought it was a great article explaining the many benefits available to first time home buyers and low income home buyers for our local area.
Some of the Highlights include
- First time home buyers (anyone who hasn’t owned a home in the last 3 years) can get a $8,000 tax credit if they buy a home now through the end of November. That’s $8,000 cash in your pocket next spring when you do your taxes.
- A Down Payment assistance program is available for a loan of up to $10,000 at 2% interest for 10 years through the Estes Park housing authority.
- There are two properties in Estes Park that have a mortgage assistance program for qualifying applicants. This program does not exclude you from the down payment assistance or the $8,000 tax credit. One property contains 1 bedroom condos and the other contains 2 and 3 bedroom condos.
For more information or questions about any of these programs, contact me or contact Rita Kuralja at the Estes Park Housing Authority and let her know I sent you.
