1.

Are a first-time homebuyer, meaning you have not owned a home in the past three years:

  • If a homebuyer owned and lived in a dwelling unit that was not permanently affixed to a permanent foundation (ie; a mobile home), it doesn't count as previous homeownership.

  • Ask your lender about our Veterans Waiver to see if you qualify.

2.

Have an income at or below prescribed South Dakota Housing Income Limits.

3.

The purchase price must be $385,000 or less.
