Charles Explains Are You A First Time Home Buyer

If you’re buying in Pensacola, Pace, or Gulf Breeze, Florida Housing’s Homebuyer Program can be a powerful tool — especially for first‑time buyers who want a stable, affordable path into homeownership. Through approved local lenders, the program offers 30‑year fixed‑rate mortgages, plus optional down payment and closing cost assistance through Florida Housing’s second‑mortgage options.

Here’s what buyers in our Gulf Coast market need to know:

Program Requirements

  • Minimum 640 credit score. Buyers must meet the statewide credit standard to qualify.

  • Work with an approved Florida Housing lender. Only participating loan officers can originate these loans.

  • Complete approved Homebuyer Education must come from a Florida Housing–approved provider.

  • Stay within county purchase price limits. Escambia and Santa Rosa counties each have their own caps.

  • Meet county income limits. Your household income must fall below the program’s thresholds.

  • Meet the IRS definition of a first‑time homebuyer. You cannot have owned and occupied a primary residence within the past three years.

 

If you’re purchasing in Pensacola, Pace, or Gulf Breeze, this program can open doors — especially when paired with local down payment assistance and today’s competitive loan options.
