🇺🇸 This Fourth of July, we’re celebrating 250 years of American independence and remembering that home is one of the freedoms worth celebrating.

We’re especially grateful for the veterans who have served our country and helped protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

If you’re a veteran looking to buy a home, you may qualify for up to $30,000 in down payment assistance through Thistle & Nest’s homeownership program, plus an additional $30,000 for eligible first-generation veteran homebuyers.

Thinking about buying a home in Madras? Save this for later.

These updated income limits are based on 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) for Jefferson County and are used to determine eligibility for our affordable homeownership opportunities in Madras.

Swipe through to find your household size and see the current income limit.

A few things to keep in mind:

✔️ Income is only one part of the qualification process.
✔️ If you’re self-employed, own a business, work seasonally, earn commissions, receive overtime, or have income that varies throughout the year, your qualifying income may be calculated differently than you expect.
✔️ Additional program requirements apply.

Please don’t assume you don’t qualify without first talking to one of our participating lenders or our team. We’ve helped many homebuyers who initially thought they earned too much, or not enough, to qualify.

Affordable homeownership in Madras may be closer than you think.

Many people assume they earn too much or too little to qualify for a home in Bend with Thistle & Nest. The reality may surprise you. The 2026 Income Limits (released in May) are here!

These updated income limits are based on 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) for Deschutes County and help determine eligibility for our affordable homeownership opportunities in Bend.

Swipe through to find your household size and see the current income limit.

A few important things to know:
✔️ Income is not always as straightforward as your annual salary.
✔️ If you’re self-employed, own a business, work seasonally, earn commissions, receive overtime, or have income that varies throughout the year, your qualifying income may be calculated differently than you expect.
✔️ Additional program requirements apply beyond income limits.

Please don’t assume you don’t qualify without first talking to a lender or our team. We’ve seen many households discover they are eligible when they initially thought they weren’t.

Affordable homeownership may be closer than you think.

Big news for the Oregon Coast. 🌊🏡

We’re excited to introduce Makara Landing, a future attainable homeownership community coming to Lincoln City.

Right now, it’s still land, dirt, vision, and possibility. But what makes this moment special is that the foundation is already there:
✔️ The land has been secured
✔️ Funding has been awarded
✔️ The work to bring this community to life is officially beginning

Makara Landing is planned to include 40 permanently affordable homes, including 6 accessible homes designed with first-floor bedrooms to support a wider range of household needs and life stages.

This is how change starts.
Not overnight.
But piece by piece, partnership by partnership, home by home.

We can’t wait to share the journey with you as Makara Landing begins to take shape. 💚
