Home Buying Fair 2025

If you are thinking about possibly buying a home for the first time, or have already decided to do so, listen up! The Affordable Housing Partnership is sponsoring a Capital Region Homebuyer Fair on Saturday, April 26th, 10am to 1 pm, at the main branch of the Albany Public Library. The event offers numerous services for potential homebuyers, including free credit reports and review; seminars on grants & mortgages; the opportunity to talk with lenders, attorneys, nonprofits, realtors, and others; on-site pre-qualification for no-obligation mortgage financing; and much more. Louise McNeilly, AHP’s Director of Special Projects, also overviews many services for current homeowners, such as energy-related programs, home repair support through the city of Albany, and help in avoiding foreclosure. She also outlines pros & cons of homeowning and renting. For details, visit www.ahphome.org or call (518) 434-1730. Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
