Affordable housing and you

The term affordable housing can mean many things. In Austin, for example, it could mean any single-family home that sells for under $200,000. In other areas of Texas, affordable housing might mean a $75,000 home.

Statewide, Texas REALTORS® help countless fellow Texans experience the benefits of homeownership, regardless of where you live or how much money you make. In addition, many Texas REALTORS® participate in specialized training to better equip themselves for helping first-time home buyers.

Options abound for Texans who want to own their own home, but who might be strapped for cash or have yet to establish their credit. One is the Texas First Time Home Buyer Program, sponsored by the Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs (TDHCA). It offers below-market mortgage interest rates for first-time buyers. TDHCA’s new Loan Star program offers special financing regardless of whether you’re a first-time buyer.

The Texas Veterans Land Board has a variety of attractive home-purchase programs for Texas military veterans and their spouses.

Links to these programs and others, can be found in Affordable housing programs available to you.

“(Temple & Belton) - Although Temple and Belton home sales have dipped slightly in the first quarter of 2008, the area continues to stand out as a stable real estate market, insulated from the decline in values and sales in other parts of Texas, and the East and West Coast. According to figures from the Temple-Belton Board of Realtors, the number of home sales is down 13 percent, and dollar volume down 8.11 percent, for first quarter 2008, compared with first quarter 2007. The median price of homes sold also dropped, $118,500, for the first quarter 2008, compared to $123,350 for the last quarter 2007, but in line with the median price for all of 2007 - $118,900. Temple-Belton Board of Realtors Terri Covington said overall the local market remained steady. She attributes the slowdown to tighter lending practices, buyers wary in light of the national picture, and people waiting for the November election outcome. The City of Temple for the first quarter 2008 has processed requests from builders for 1,283 lots in the first quarter, more than ten times the number for first quarter 2007. And new home starts and all home closings are up also, according to the Temple Area Builders Association figures. This trend indicates larger subdivisions are in the works, with construction possibly beginning later this year.”(courtesy of the Temple Telegraph)
