Down Payment Assistance Programs for First-Time Homebuyers

Many first-time homeowners are missing out on great down payment assistance programs—are you one of them? I was surprised to learn that among the 80% of first-time homebuyers who qualify for a down payment assistance program, only 13% use it. These statistics from Realtor.com made me think about how I can help more buyers take advantage of our market’s low interest rates and more inventory. That’s why I’m here to share some programs to help you secure a low to zero down payment if you qualify. Don’t get left behind; know your options and get into your new home before the year ends—I’m here to help.
