New Haven, Connecticut, USA
New Haven is offering several incentives to attract new residents. There is a down payment assistance program for first-time home buyers on low incomes of up to $10,000 (£8,130) or 6% of the home’s purchase price, whichever is greater.
And if you live in your home for more than five years the loan is totally written off. There are also forgivable loans of up to $30,000 for energy-saving home upgrades. Live in your home for more than 10 years and this doesn’t need to be repaid. Plus, there are free tuition incentives for in-state colleges.
