FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER GRANTS The Home in 5 Program is a program primarily for first-time homebuyers who wish to purchase a qualifying home in Maricopa County.       Individuals or families who qualify are able to obtain a 30-year fixed rate loan at a 6.55% interest rate, with 5% down payment/closing cost assistance. This assistance is a grant and does not require repayment. The loans are fully-assumable loans and are available on new or existing homes, condominiums, townhouses or manufactured homes on a first-come, first-served basis, through the Participating Lenders. PRIORITY LENDING AREAS The City of Phoenix has designated certain areas as Priority Lending Areas. Homes in Priority Lending Areas qualify for a 30-year fixed rate loan at a 6.29% interest rate, with 6% down payment/closing cost assistance. Click here for map of Priority Lending Areas.

VETERANS EXCEPTION Qualified Veteran's do not need to meet the first-time homebuyer requirement on any loan funded through a program issued prior to December 31, 2007. A "Qualified Veteran" is a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released there from under conditions other than dishonorable (as provided in 38 U.S.C. Section 101) who has not previously obtained a loan financed by single family mortgage revenue bonds utilizing the veterans exception to the 3-year requirement set forth in Section 416 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006. ABOUT RECAPTURE TAX When you receive a first-time homebuyer loan, you are receiving the benefit of a lower mortgage interest rate and/or down payment/closing cost assistance that is not customarily available on other mortgage loans. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond program used to fund your mortgage loan is governed by federal law. The law mandates a "recapture" of some of the benefit of the program if buyers meet ALL three of the following criteria. 1) The property ceases to be the principal residence in the first full nine years of ownership 2) There is a profit on the sale of the home 3) The household income increases significantly (generally over the program limits in the first year and an additional 5% over the previous year every year thereafter.) If "Recapture Tax" is owed, it is computed and paid to the IRS for the tax year in which the home is sold. For the average buyer in these programs, it is very unlikely that they will be required to pay because their income is lower than that allowed. But if Recapture Tax must be repaid, it will never exceed the lesser of 6.25% of the original loan amount or one-half of the gain on the sale of the home.
