For many first-time homebuyers, the biggest challenge isn't the monthly mortgage payment, it's saving enough money for the down payment and closing costs. The good news? There are thousands of homebuyer assistance programs available that can help make homeownership more attainable.
As part of a new partnership between MLS Technology Inc. and Down Payment Resource (DPR), real estate professionals now have access to powerful tools that help identify homes that may qualify for down payment assistance, grants, affordable mortgage programs, closing cost assistance, tax credits, and more.
Down payment assistance programs are designed to help qualified buyers cover some of the upfront costs associated with purchasing a home. Depending on the program, assistance may come in the form of:
✅ Grants that don't need to be repaid
✅ Down payment assistance funds
✅ Closing cost assistance
✅ Reduced interest rate mortgage programs
✅ Tax credits for eligible buyers
With more than 2,000 assistance programs available nationwide, many buyers are surprised to learn they may qualify for financial help.
Many people assume they need a 20% down payment to buy a home. In reality, there are loan programs and assistance options that may allow qualified buyers to purchase a home with significantly less out of pocket.
These programs can help:
