Down Payment Assistance

Down Payment Assistance:

We often get asked about options for first-time homebuyers to be able to utilize down payment assistance programs. Well, you’re in luck! There is an excellent program that provides $15,000 to use towards down payment and closing costs. We have seen buyers purchase homes with NO money needed at closing.

What Costs Can I Expect to Pay?

Usually, the only expense is the upfront cost of the binder deposit, home inspection(s), and the appraisal. You can figure that you will need about $1,500 for those items, but maybe a little more depending on the home that you are purchasing. One of our agents can walk you through that process in more detail when the time comes.

Who Qualifies as a First-Time Buyer?

You might be surprised to know that being a “First-Time” homebuyer doesn’t necessarily mean that you have NEVER owned a home before. If you have not owned a home in the past 3 years, you are now magically a “First-Time” homebuyer again! That’s really great news since you have the knowledge that comes with owning a home before and the benefit of utilizing a down payment assistance program like it’s your first time.
