About The Homeownership Fair

In celebration of National Homeownership Month in June, the City of Arlington is hosting the Annual Homeownership Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 29, 2024, at the Bob Duncan Center, 2800 N. Center St.

To help put on the free educational event, the City is teaming up with the Arlington Board of Realtors, the Hispanic Real Estate Brokers Association and Housing Channel to provide prospective homebuyers with valuable resources and information.

The event is open to everyone with an interest in homeownership, including current homeowners, those who are actively looking to buy a home, and anyone who wants to know more about the homebuying process and what it takes to become a homeowner.

The 2024 Homeownership Fair will include over 40 vendors and agencies offering valuable information and products, as well as informational sessions in English and Spanish throughout the day. Topics covered at the event will include:

• Securing a mortgage and understanding interest rates
• Credit management and credit repair
• Down payment assistance programs (such as the Arlington Homebuyer Assistance Program, which offers up to $20,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance for income-qualified buyers)
• Inspections, insurance and taxes
• Home repair and home maintenance

 Additionally, the Homeownership Fair will include a homeownership-themed art contest for kids, prizes and giveaways, and activities. Children are welcome to attend. The event and parking are free.
