How do I know if a home is in a USDA area?

mwmiller82 · ‎06-11-2012

I'm new to hearing about USDA loans, I live in CT and was wondering how do I find out if the house I am looking at is qualified for a USDA loan, or is just for farm areas and farm houses?

A lot of CT is blacked out, but there are a few eligible areas. Good luck!

There is a property eligiblity tool you can use on the USDA website. The are still going off of the old census from 2000, until the end of this year...so as of right now there are properties available in really built up areas that are still as of now eligible.

I can practically guarantee the house we're buying won't be eligible after the census update!
