• The current Door County real estate market offers buyers a number of advantages, including the First-Time Homebuyers tax credit, which enables eligible individuals and couples to receive up to $8,000 in tax credit that does not have to be repaid, unless the buyer sells the home within three years.

In addition to the tax credit, historically low interest rates and a variety of loan programs may eliminate the need for a substantial down payment, giving buyers plenty of ways to save money on home purchases.
