With the rapid rise in rents statewide, Utah households are spending more than half of their income for housing. A home mortgage with a 5.99 interest rate offers payments less than what most people are paying in rent. In many cases, a renter paying $450 per month could purchase a $60,000 home having a monthly mortgage payment of only $450. More importantly, a fixed house payment protects against further rises in rent rates." UHFA will target these morthome gage funds to first-tim- e across the state. Prospecbuyers tive home buyers may qualify for these monies providing their income and the cost of the home they want to buy is below certain limits. These limits also vary from county to county across the state depending on the size of a household and the location ofthe home purchased. Participating lenders, Realtors, and homebuilders will work with prospective home buyers to assist them in acquiring that first home. More and more, firsttime home buyers who do not think they can qualify for a mortgage loan are surprised to'leam they qualify with UHFA financing. Especially through UHFAs CHAMP program which offers down payment and closing cost assistance, home buyer education, home warranty assistance, and emergency home repair loans. CHAMP has assisted nearly 1,000 Utahns into their first home.
