Unlocking Your Dream Home with KB Experience: Philadelphia’s Premier Homebuyer Assistance Program

Unlocking $5,000 to $15,000 in Homebuyer Assistance: Navigate Philadelphia’s Real Estate Market with KB Experience

The journey to homeownership is exhilarating yet daunting, especially for first-time buyers in Philadelphia. Understanding this, the City of Philadelphia has rolled out several impactful programs to assist new homeowners. Among these, the Philly First Home Program, along with the First Front Door and Keystone Assistance programs, stand out by offering substantial financial support. At KB Experience, we are dedicated to guiding our clients through these opportunities to not only secure financial benefits but also find their ideal home in the city.

Overview of the Philly First Home Program

The Philly First Home Program is a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s initiative to transform renters into homeowners by providing up to $10,000 or 6% of the home’s purchase price. This grant aids in covering down payment and closing costs, crucial hurdles for many first-time buyers in today’s market.

Eligibility and Benefits

Eligibility for the Philly First Home Program is straightforward: applicants must be first-time homebuyers or those who haven’t owned a home in the past three years. Eligible properties include single-family homes and duplexes within Philadelphia, excluding condominiums. Prior to signing an Agreement of Sale, potential buyers must complete a free, City-funded homeownership counseling program. This program is designed to equip buyers with essential knowledge for successful homeownership, covering topics such as:

• Budget management and purchase planning within financial limits
• Identifying and avoiding high-risk mortgages
• Understanding homeowners’ rights and obligations
• Comprehensive guides to mortgage and home purchase processes
• Strategies for credit maintenance and improvement
• Effective financial management and home maintenance
• Legal nuances of real estate, including deeds and foreclosure prevention
