Down Payment Help, Explained

Buying a home may feel out of reach when saving for a down payment takes time, but assistance programs can help eligible buyers cover part of their upfront costs. Support may be offered through grants, forgivable loans, deferred-payment loans, or second mortgages. Eligibility often depends on income, credit, purchase price, location, first-time buyer status, and homebuyer education. Buyers should also plan for closing costs and understand when assistance must be repaid.

A knowledgeable real estate agent can help you organize the next steps and connect you with trusted resources.
