First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Act of 2025
This bill creates a refundable tax credit of up to $15,000 (10% of purchase price) for first-time homebuyers in the U.S. To qualify, buyers must be at least 18 years old, have no recent home ownership, and purchase with a federally-backed mortgage. The credit is reduced for higher-income households relative to local median income and home prices. Homeowners who sell within 4 years must repay the credit, though exceptions exist for military service or job changes. The credit can also be transferred to the mortgage lender at the time of purchase.
