For so many Minnesotans, the prospect of owning a home is tantalizingly close, but day-to-day expenses prevent them from saving enough to secure that initial down payment. Their dream of homeownership is just out of reach.
The Parade of Homes has a proud legacy of providing homeownership opportunities for 75 years. In our continued commitment to expanding the opportunity for homeownership for everyone, everywhere in our state, we’re proud to provide the Parade of Homes First-Time Homebuyer $10K Giveaway once again this fall!
Who can enter?
These $10K grants can be put toward the down payment or closing costs of a first-time homebuyer’s new house. This house can be either resale or newly built — whichever suits your lifestyle! However, the home cannot cost more than $425,000.
The grant is not sent straight to the homebuyers but rather is disbursed to the title company to use for housing costs. The recipients then have 12 months to close on their new house and begin making memories!
Entries are accepted from August 21 through October 1 at 6:00 p.m. Enter today to begin finding your dream home!
