๐Ÿก Could you actually afford to buy a home in Poway?


Many first-time buyers assume the answer is no before they ever explore the programs available to them.


The City of Poway Supporting Home Ownership in Poway (SHOP) Program is designed to help qualified buyers become homeowners — and the City currently lists homes available through the program.


One current property is listed at $686,699, and the program page also describes another SHOP opportunity with approximately $180,000 in assistance for a qualified buyer. Program requirements, availability and assistance amounts are subject to change.


And here's something many people don't know:


๐Ÿ‘‰ You may still be considered a first-time home buyer even if you owned a home in the past, depending on how long it has been since you owned.


Don't assume buying in Poway, California is impossible until you've explored your options.


๐Ÿ“ฒ Message me “POWAY” and I'll help you understand the home-buying process and where to start.
