2025 is the year to finally be able to realize the dream of owning your own home through the government's Minha Casa, Minha Vida incentive, which has some great news for 2025. In this sense, the new federal administration foresees a large increase in funding to help Brazilians be able to buy and finance their own home. Are you interested? See with us that we can help you with this article.

How does the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program work?

The government program is based on financing real estate for Brazilians who have a gross income of up to R$12,000 per month, where it finances the subsidies and makes the interest rates much lower than any other type of housing financing. In addition, there are still subsidies for some social classes such as single mothers, families with children and those who are in an emergency situation.

In this sense, it is important for you to know that the program is suitable for new, used, rural, and urban homes, and you can also use your FGTS as part of the down payment and further reduce the interest. In addition, you must fit into one of the ranges according to your monthly income:

  • Band 1: up to R$ 2,850.00;
  • Band 2: R$ 2,850.01 to R$ 4,700.00;
  • Band 3: R$ 4,700.01 to R$ 8,600.00;
  • Band 4: R$ 8,600.00 and R$ 12,000.00.

Therefore, the property only needs to be approved in accordance with Minha Casa, Minha Vida legislation to be able to be purchased.

Does Everyone Have Rights?

Unfortunately, not every Brazilian is eligible to participate in the program. In this sense, it is important that you pay attention to some minimum requirements that are important for the government and Caixa. They are:

  • You must have a minimum income of R$1,800.00 and a maximum of R$12,000.00 (however, this income can be unique or family income, depending on each case and type of stable union or number of family members).
  • Have a clean and unrestricted name at Serasa or SPC (Credit Protection Service).

In addition, the Caixa Econômica credit manager in your region will analyze your data and see if you fit into Minha Casa Minha Vida.

Then, after carrying out your simulation, simply accept and go to a Caixa branch with your personal documents in hand (ID, identity, proof of income and documents for the property you want to purchase, such as a plan and assessment by an authorized engineer ) and request analysis. After the bank analyzes your financing request, just sign the contract and start paying your installments.

It is worth remembering that it may take a while for the money to arrive (the deadline is informed before signing) and documents such as plans and engineering assessments may be required. In this sense, it is ideal that you have set aside an amount for these costs that are not included in the financing.

Finally, it is good that you choose between a new or used property, and construction, with the down payment value being able to vary from 20 to 50% of the total value of the finished property.
