Buying a home may require less cash up front than you think. Depending on your situation, there may be low-down-payment, down-payment-assistance, or other homebuyer programs worth exploring.
Some buyers already have a lender. Others have spoken with a lender but were never shown down-payment-assistance options. Some are just beginning to understand what may be available.
Our goal is to help you understand the options that may fit your situation and point you toward the right next step.
Some qualified buyers may be able to use assistance programs to reduce the amount of cash needed up front.
Depending on the loan type and buyer qualifications, some financing options may require a relatively small down payment.
Certain qualified buyers may have access to programs that allow little or no down payment, depending on eligibility and program requirements.
That's fine. The important question is whether the options you were shown included the homebuyer or down-payment-assistance programs that may apply to your situation.
If you're not sure, a quick eligibility review can help clarify what may be worth exploring.
