Wait… I Qualify as a First-Time Buyer?!

Surprise! You might be closer to first-time homebuyer perks than you think. Many buyers are shocked to learn that even if you’ve owned a home before, you may still qualify as a first-time buyer under certain programs. Yep—real estate has plot twists, and this is one of the good ones.

In Washington County, Oregon—whether you’re looking in Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, or Tigard—there are local, state, and federal programs designed to help buyers with down payment assistance, lower interest rates, and reduced closing costs. Some programs define a “first-time buyer” as someone who hasn’t owned a home in the last few years. Others allow eligibility if you owned with a former spouse, inherited property, or never lived in the home you owned. Told you it gets interesting.

For sellers, this matters too. Buyers using first-time buyer programs can be highly motivated and well-qualified—great news when you’re preparing to list.

The rules can feel confusing (okay, sometimes very confusing), but that’s where we come in. We help you understand what you may qualify for, connect you with trusted local lenders, and map out a smart strategy based on your goals—not guesses.

Whether you’re buying your first home, buying again, or just curious about your options, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s explore what’s possible and make your next move with confidence.
