The Michigan State Housing Development Authority has significantly expanded its down payment assistance program that, when combined with the new federal tax credit, would provide more than $15,000 in help for first-time home buyers.

Welcome to the new taar.com!  Some of the changes you'll see as you explore the site include:

• A new look geared towards providing you with more information about Northern Michigan living and real estate
