Legislature OK's $6000 grants to home buyers!

I saw this article here on KSL.com today. Interesting, wouldn't you agree?



SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Anyone interested in buying a newly built home could receive a $6,000 state grant under a bill the Utah Legislature has approved.

The grants are intended to eliminate a glut of homes on the market that have never been lived in. The $10 million for the program comes from President Barack Obama's federal stimulus package.

The grants would be available to anyone buying a home, not just first-time home buyers.

Home buyers would have to secure a fixed-rate mortgage to qualify for the grant, and the money would only be available to those whose income is $75,000 or less, or $150,000 or less for married couples.
