So a friend of mine recently bought a gorgeous townhome in Salt Lake City and was able to get the $8,000 tax credit as well as the $6,000 Home Run Grant that the state of Utah was providing. Click below to see a tour of her new townhome!!!
I had always dreamed about and looked forward to the day when I could call a place my very own. After 10 years of paying rent, I knew I was ready to take that scary leap and finally buy a place of my very own. I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to do it all, buying a house can be very expensive. I initially didn’t have a lot of money to put towards a down payment. But with the help of a $6,000 housing grant that was being offered by the state and the $8,000 tax credit from the Federal government, I was able to purchase my first home and pay for new appliances, washer and dryer, window coverings, and all of the other little expenses you don’t think about when buying a new home. And I still had some left over! I’m so happy I finally decided to take that leap, it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. -Elizabeth Jarvis
