  1. Buying your first home in Texas is an exciting milestone, but it also brings many questions for new buyers. To make your journey easier, here are some of the most common FAQs about the home buying process in Texas—along with clear answers. Who qualifies as a first-time homebuyer in Texas? If you haven’t owned a home in the past three years, you’re considered a first-time buyer. For married couples, both spouses must meet this requirement to qualify for certain programs. What credit score do I need? Most Texas mortgage and assistance programs require a minimum credit score of 620. Higher scores can get you better rates, though some programs may allow slightly lower scores. How much is the down payment? You don’t always need 20%. FHA loans can require as little as 3.5%, and several Texas programs offer down payment assistance. That said, saving more upfront can help lower monthly payments.

  2. What assistance programs are available? Texas provides resources such as My First Texas Home and Home Sweet Texas Home, which offer down payment support, low-interest loans, and even tax credits. Eligibility depends on factors like income, location, and past homeownership. What other costs should I expect? Beyond the down payment and home price, budget for closing costs, insurance, property taxes, inspection fees, and ongoing maintenance. These expenses can add several thousand dollars. Why should I get pre-approved? Pre-approval sets a clear budget, strengthens your offer, and shows sellers you’re serious—making it one of the smartest first steps.

  3. Is homebuyer education required? Yes, most programs require a certified course. These are affordable (usually $0–$99) and cover essentials like mortgage terms, insurance, and closing costs. How does the Texas housing market affect me? In larger cities, the market moves quickly. Be prepared for competitive bidding and rising prices, especially in desirable neighbourhoods or top school districts. What mistakes should I avoid? Don’t skip inspections, underestimate hidden costs like HOA fees or insurance, or overstretch your budget. Always review loan terms carefully before signing. With the right knowledge, preparation, and guidance, buying your first Texas home can be smooth and rewarding. Explore assistance programs, work with trusted local professionals, and take confident steps toward homeownership. Looking for expert support?
