Buy A Home? Yes, You Can! April 6, 2009

First-time homebuyers in the Seattle area now have historic market and financial opportunities to securely position themselves for the future. In addition to the federal tax credit of $8,000, the Seattle area is home to about a dozen homebuyer assistance programs to help with downpayment and closing costs. Some contribute as much as $60,000 to a home purchase.

Yet, all of this money, significantly lower prices and low interest rates make a complicated environment and many would-be homebuyers are daunted by the complexity and risk of the home buying process. A series of free seminars is scheduled to educate people interested in buying their first home. The WeHelpYouBuyAHome.com seminars are designed to demystify the home buying process and equip attendees to confidently enter the Seattle and Eastside real estate market as savvy and empowered decision-makers.

A volunteer panel of experts will discuss topics and answer questions relating to: renting vs. buying in the Seattle real estate market, how to choose the right home and neighborhood in and around Seattle, how to qualify for a mortgage, first-time homebuyer mortgage options, home inspections, tax advantages of home ownership, forms of real estate ownership, the real estate buying process, when not to buy and, the little-known topic of local government bond money available to assist buyers to purchase a home.

No charge.
