First-time Homebuyer Programs
Each of our First-time Homebuyer Loan Programs has a maximum income and sales price limits based on the area in which the home is located. The limits listed in the table below apply to the following programs: 30-year Fixed Rate, Conventional, FHA, VA, Rural Development, FHA Plus, and Homebuyer Tax Credit Plus products.

VHDA's First-time Homebuyer Loan Programs are limited to applicants who have never owned a home or who have not owned a home in the past three years, with the exception of Federal Targeted Areas. Higher Sales Price/Loan and Income Limits are available for properties located in these designated areas. Please reference the Federal Targeted Area limits table for more details.
