Which programs fit Lacey first-time buyers?
VA, FHA and conventional loans fit most first-time buyers in Lacey, and the right one depends on your credit score and down payment. VA loans need no down payment for eligible veterans and service members. An FHA loan on one unit in Thurston County can go to $586,500 in 2026 (HUD).
