Saving up to 3.5%* at closing adds up! Just think, you could use your closing cost savings to purchase new carpet, new furniture – you name it!

This offer only lasts until January 31, 2009, so make sure and Ask an Agent today about HomeSteps homes.

*As an example of your savings, if the purchase price of your home is $150,000, HomeSteps will pay up to $5,250 of your closing costs. This savings is money that you can use for moving expenses or new furnishings. (Please note HomeSteps will only pay up to 3.5% of your purchase price in closing costs, not to exceed the total closing costs. For instance, if your purchase price is $125,000, and your closing costs are $4,250, HomeSteps will only pay $4,250, an amount equal to 3.4% of your purchase price.)
