First Time Homebuyer Programs in Brevard County Florida

Here in Melbourne Florida, located in Brevard County there are currently First Time Homebuyer Programs available. I wish I was a first time buyer! New buyers are receiving down payment and closing cost assistance to make it easier to get into their first home.

Home prices have been gradually becoming more realistic and smart buyers are snapping up deals.

Currently there are 270 homes for sale priced $150,000 and below in Melbourne, Florida. In January 2005 at the peak of our market there were less 4 homes available for sale in the North Melbourne area priced below $200,000, and none of those were priced below $150,000! Our market has certainly come full circle.

So, don’t miss the opportunities available today. The last 4 buyers that I have worked with have used First Time Homebuyer Programs for their purchase. They were all provided with great packages to assist them with their purchase.

So, check with Brevard County to see what programs are available.

Or the City of Melbourne

or check with FHA

or the Department of Housing and Urban Development

or call me at 321-253-4545 , and I will be more than happy to give you additional information.

Desirable Kingsmill Subdivision – North Melbourne FL

Kingsmill is a conveniently located subdivision located in Melbourne Florida, in Brevard County close to shopping, dining, restaurants and gas, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the “city”. The 323 homes in Kingsmill are situated on 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre well apppointed lots. The area is well maintained. Kingsmill boasts 2 community parks. Homes are typically from 1500+ square feet to just over 2000 square feet of living, built between 1986-1989. The primary home builder is Maronda Homes, with some custom homes built on 1/2 acre lots by Joyal Construction and Tiffany Construction.

Kingsmill is centrally located, just minutes to shopping, dining, schools, Lake Washington, the Maxwell C King Center for Performing Arts, Wickham Road, I-95 and US1. Walk to groceries, shopping and fast food.

My family and I have lived in the Kingsmill Subdivision since 2001. Back in 1988 my sister and I had a home built in Kingsmill, where we lived for a year and a half.
