USDA Eligibility in Austin Metro Area

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

The loans available through the USDA have certainly received a lot of attention -- being that they provide a vehicle for buyers to still participate in a zero/little down program.  That being said, they are restrictive -- in that you can only purchase a home in a rural area as specified by the USDA.

If you are curious about a property's eligibility -- you can search at  http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov. From the home page, click "Single Family Housing" under "Property Eligibility." Enter the property address to get an instant determination or to view a map.

In Central Texas, there are quite a few areas that qualify -- particularly in Williamson County.  For instance, there are hundreds of properties that qualify in Leander and Hutto.  If you're interested in finding out if you can take advantage of this program or to qualify -- please feel free to contact me at klombar@kw.com or 512.439.3696.
