The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® STEPS Toward Homeownership addresses housing affordability from the perspective of financial literacy. Did you know over half of all renters in California thought you needed at least 20% down to purchase a home (C.A.R. 2019 Renter’s Survey)? The reality is there are programs available that enable a purchase with much lower down payments. This program brings relevant information to our members about credit scores, financial planning, leveraging down payment resources and options for low to moderate income earners so that we can educate our buyers. The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® supports RESPONSIBLE homeownership. |
Date: January 8, 2020
Time: 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM
