If you’re a first-time home buyer, COVID has actually created some unexpected opportunities.  Federal, state and local governments recognize that home-ownership can bring stability to the economy and a sense of community to neighborhoods.  So, they’ve developed financial programs to help first-time buyers. These include access to financing, down payment assistance, relaxed credit standards, grants for closing costs and federal tax breaks. Interest.com provides an overview here.  The National Association of Realtors offers details on other advantages of buying now. 

If a new home is on your list of possibilities, consider the benefits of Sal Paone Builder’s newest community,  Plymouth Valley Estates. For details, visit the Paone website or learn about community details here. With the perfect location, multiple models and beautiful design options, a pandemic-era purchase could actually offer a bright spot during this strange time.
