The housing market right now might seem like a desolate hellscape (because it is), but if you’re interested in navigating the obstacles toward owning a home, the City of Cincinnati and Union Savings Bank are hosting a free workshop this month to help.
The homeownership expo will be held Saturday, Jan. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Price Hill Recreation Center. It’ll cover topics like building your credit, how the homeownership process works, how to work with real estate agents and banks and how to start.
