Largo, MD --- The robust housing market in Prince
George’s County makes now a great time to purchase a home. Whether you’re in the market for new
construction, resale, condos or senior living, Prince George’s County has
something for everyone and every budget.
So join the Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community
Development and the Housing Authority of Prince George’s County on Saturday,
June 10th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM as it hosts the 2017 Housing Fair
at the Sports and Learning Complex, 8001 Sheriff Road, Landover, MD. The
Housing Fair is presented by the Prince George’s County Department of Housing
and Community Development (DHCD) and the Housing Authority of Prince George’s
County and sponsored by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community
Development, Bank of America and the Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Housing Fair attendees will have an
opportunity to meet with housing industry professionals, such as mortgage
lenders, realtors, housing counselors, banks, non-profit organizations and
various government agencies. The MD
Department of Housing and Community Development will have information about the
Maryland Mortgage Program and the “You’ve Earned It!” program. The Fair will also hold workshops on
financial literacy, foreclosure alternatives, managing your money and
more.
Again this year, an expert panel
discussion will open up the Housing Fair: Condominium and HOA Board Governance:
How It Impacts Your Property Value. Many
first time homebuyers purchase condominiums without knowing or understanding
the governance behind them. This panel
will enlighten potential homebuyers considering the purchase of a condo and
answer questions for those who have already made their purchase.
New this year, DHCD will pay the
rent or mortgage of one lucky winner, up to $2,000! In addition, DHCD will present its House
Lottery this year and give pre-qualified applicants a chance to win up to
$10,000 toward the purchase of their first home. During the Mid-Day Event, Prince George’s
County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III will draw the names of 3 winners at
12:00 noon. All applicants must be
present to win. To be eligible for the $10,000 home buyers assistance, applicants must:
- Be a first-time home buyer;
- Work with a pre-approved lender;
- Be income eligible; and
- The house must be your primary residence
