Buying a home in a Targeted Area?

Certain areas of Connecticut are designated "targeted areas" based on IRS guidelines . If you purchase a home in a federally designated "targeted area," you will receive an additional 0.25% discount on CHFA's published interest rate. The first-time homebuyer* requirement is waived. Borrowers cannot combine the Target Area discount with any other discount rate.
