 Recently, our Local REALTOR Association hosted a  2 hour presentation by

The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority

“It Makes Cents: State Programs to Make the Dream of Home-ownership a Reality.”

The seminar covered topics such as below market interest rate programs, down payment assistance to first time and move up buyers, first time buyer tax credits for Indiana Home Buyers.

There are Income Limits based on Household Size AND on the Indiana County you plan to buy in.

Here is the Chart that shows the maximum Home Price Per IN County and differing income limits depending on number of persons in the household(1 to 8)for 2011-2012 years.

Jasper County in Northwest Indiana extends these state programs to ANY buyer, the rest NW Indiana counties of Lake, Porter & La Porte, Newton only 1st time home buyers may qualify.

These 3 separate programs cannot be co-mingled and buyer must use a participating lender.
