First-Time Homebuyers

Our first-time homebuyer programs are geared toward low to moderate income households who have limited savings. These programs allow you to buy a home with either a very low or no downpayment.

If your household income is greater than $118,000, you probably won't be eligible for these programs, but you may qualify for conventional home loan financing, which in some instances may require as little as a 5% down payment.

In addition to these programs, homebuyer grants can provide funds to assist with down payment, closing cost and repairs. These grants come available in March of each year and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
