This November, California voters will decide whether to establish a second-mortgage program to help eligible middle-income homebuyers purchase qualifying homes. Proposition (Prop 37), the Second Mortgage Homebuyer Program and Revenue Bond Initiative, would create the program to expand homeownership opportunities for middle-income Californians. It would be financed through $25 million in bonds issued by the California Housing Finance Agency. (CalHFA). Prop 37 would require qualified buyers to meet specific conditions outlined in the measure. Buyers would be required to have been California residents for at least one year, agree to occupy and state the home as their primary residence within 60 days of closing, hold an income that is at or below 200% of the area’s median income for a similar-sized family in the city or county where the qualified home is located and provide a down payment that is at least 3% of the total purchase price of the qualified home. Under the initiative, a “qualified home” could be a newly built single-family home, townhome, row house or condominium. It could also be a residence in a former nonresidential building converted for residential use. In each case, the borrower must be the property’s first purchaser.
