First-Time Homebuyer Financial Assistance: This property is being sold in conjunction with the Housing Partnership of Chester County's First Time Homebuyer Program, which provides eligible buyers with interest-free financing to assist with down payment and closing costs. The assistance is structured as a second mortgage lien that requires no monthly payments and is only repaid when the home is eventually sold, transferred, or refinanced. To qualify for this purchase opportunity, buyers must be first-time homebuyers (having not owned a home in the past three years) and must intend to occupy the property as their primary residence. Applicants are required to complete a free HPCC homebuying seminar, secure a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage from a local lender, and meet specific financial criteria. These criteria include falling within the program's gross household income limits, making a minimum personal cash contribution toward the purchase, and keeping post-closing liquid assets below the program's specified maximum.
