Absolutely — most first-time homebuyers do use a 30-year mortgage. It offers the lowest monthly payment, making homeownership more accessible.
Advantages include:
✔ Lower monthly payments
✔ More purchasing power
✔ Predictable budgeting
✔ Fixed-rate stability
In Chester County communities like Exton, Downingtown, Malvern, and West Chester, where prices can be competitive, a 30-year mortgage often makes more sense than a shorter-term loan.
First-time buyers may also qualify for:
• FHA loans
• USDA loans (some Chester County areas qualify)
• Down payment assistance programs
• Seller credits
