Check your Down Payment Assistance Eligibility

Buying a home can feel out of reach when the biggest concern is the down payment. That is why we now have a new tool available on our website that allows buyers and Realtors to check potential eligibility for down payment assistance programs and grant opportunities.

This resource is now live and ready to use.

A Helpful First Step for Buyers

Many buyers assume they need a large down payment to purchase a home. In some cases, there may be assistance programs or grants available that can help reduce the amount needed upfront.

This new tool gives buyers a simple way to start exploring possible down payment assistance options before they give up on buying.

It can be especially helpful for:

First-time homebuyers
Buyers with limited savings
Clients worried about cash to close
Renters who want to become homeowners
Realtors working with budget-conscious buyers

Check for Additional Grant Opportunities

Some buyers may qualify for additional assistance based on their profession, military service, household circumstances, or the type of home they are buying.

The tool can help check for opportunities tied to questions like:

Do you or a co-borrower work in education, law enforcement, firefighting, or healthcare?

Do you, a co-borrower, or a dependent household member have a disability?

Are you or a co-borrower a member of the U.S. military?

Are you the surviving spouse of a military member or public protector?

Are you purchasing an energy efficient or visitable home?

These details can matter when searching for down payment assistance or grant programs.

Realtors Can Use It Too

This tool is not just for buyers. Realtors can also use it as a resource when working with clients who are hesitant because of the down payment.

Instead of assuming a buyer is not ready, agents can send them to the eligibility tool and help them take the next step.

It is a simple way to open the door to more conversations and possibly help more clients move forward.

Important Reminder

This tool is not a full loan approval. It does not replace a complete mortgage review. However, it can be a great starting point for identifying possible assistance programs and helping buyers understand what may be available.

After checking eligibility, the next step is to talk through the results, review loan options, and create a plan.

Two Reasons Why the Housing Market Won’t Crash

Image
 You may have heard some recent buzz about the economy and concerns about a potential recession. It's completely understandable for this type of talk to raise worries about the possibility of a housing market crash. However, there's good news – there's no need to panic. The housing market is not set up for a crash right now, and here are two key reasons why. Demand for Homes Is Higher than Supply One of the main reasons the housing market crashed in 2008 was due to an oversupply of homes. But the situation today is quite different. A balanced real estate market typically has about six months' supply of homes. When there's more than that, it signals that supply outpaces demand, and prices could fall. However, when there's less than that, it means demand is higher than supply, which tends to keep prices stable or push them higher. The graph below shows that in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, there were 13 months of housing supply, which was far too much....
