Last week I wrote about the great Choose Albany program, which offers up to a $15,000 loan for homebuyers in the city of Albany towards the purchase of a Albany home. As of today, the Choose Albany no longer has funds. However, according to the City Department of Development and Planning, the City hopes to have more Choose Albany funds available later in 2012.

In the meantime you can get started on your search, using the Monticello online search engine to find the latest listings for houses for sale in Albany, NY. The Monticello search engine directly connects to the Capital Region Multiple Listing Service, as opposed to websites such as Trulia or Zillow that often have old or expired listings. If you find houses for sale in Albany, NY using the Monticello search engine, you’ll have the most up-to-date listings for houses for sale in Albany, NY.

For the full details of the Choose Albany program, check out the Choose Albany page. Once we get word the City has funds for the Choose Albany program, we’ll update the website immediately. And as always if you have questions or need assistance don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
