WASHINGTON STATE USDA ZERO DOWN HOME LOAN 

Welcome I will not be able to cover everything about the USDA Zero down home loan program here but I will explain the basics. As you begin your research process, if you have any questions, our team is available to answer those questions and get you the information that you need.  I have put together quite a bit of information and links to try to help you gather all of the information that you need pertaining to the Washington State USDA Rural Development Home Loan Program. If for some reason the home you are looking for is NOT located in a USDA approved region, there are other ZERO down alternatives that you may consider.  Such as Washington States First Time Buyers Program, which I would be more than happy to provide you more information too.


Some Details About the USDA Home Loan Program in Washington State

- Zero Down, no down payment required
- Low monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI)
(This changed in 2011 before it was zero but the cost is minimal!)- Very competitive 30-year fixed rates- 640 minimum credit score required 

- Up to 6% seller contribution
- Can use to finance a REO or short sale
- Can use to buy new construction

There is two main criteria as to whether you qualify, they are:
(1) Eligibility is region or location specific. Click here to see if address is USDA eligible.
(2) Eligibility is income specific. Qualifying income is based on household members and a 
max income cap. Click here to see if you qualify under the max income cap.

This is the basics, the links above have quite a bit more information than just the steps above. Also your Realtor or mortgage/loan officer should be able to show to you and explain the property guidelines before going out to look at homes. If there is additional information or help we can provide feel free to contact us by email or calling 253-234-9780. We are always striving to better serve you.

Whats my home worth Today?   253-234-9780

It's a SELLERS market, Low Inventory, low interest rates and prices are moving HIGHER!  We have More buyers than listings!

For February, the MLS shows just 153 active listing in Auburn WA

From 2/2013:  Inventory of homes for sale in Auburn WA, like the rest of King County, is way down (and this is driving prices up).  How low is it?  A month-over-month look at the last decade of Januarys will give you precise information.  

Number of active listings of houses for sale in Auburn WA, not sale pending, in January of the following years:
2013 =  152                                      
2012 =  272                                                  
2011 =  338                                      
2010 =  289                                      
2009 =  340                                      
2008 =  423                                      
2007 =  318                                      
2006 =  208                                      
2005 =  176
2004 =  302
2003 =  351

For the 10 years prior to this year, the average number of houses available in January each year was about 301.7.  With just 152 houses available, that's 49% of "normal" for the last decade or so. 

Bonney Lake WA and Pierce County is no different, here is a year over year look for the last seven years of Januarys in Bonney Lake WA.

2013 = 162
2012 = 243                                       
2011 = 322                                       
2010 = 408                                       
2009 = 477                                       
2008 = 482                                       
2007 = 318

For Bonney Lake WA homes I could only get data through 2007 but for the 6 years prior to this year, the average number of houses available in January each year was about 375.  With just 152 houses available, that's 56% of "normal" for the last seven years!
