More Help for Buyers Than Ever Before
Affordability is still the top hurdle for buyers, but the resources to clear it just reached an all-time high. A new report counts more homebuyer assistance programs nationwide than at any point on record.
There are now 2,746 homeownership assistance programs nationwide, a new survey high.
2,114 of them, or 77%, are active and funded and available to buyers today.
Grant programs, which require no repayment, grew 6% in the quarter.
Nearly 1,000 programs now support 2 to 4 unit properties, giving buyers a path to rental income alongside ownership.
These programs work by reducing the loan-to-value ratio and covering upfront costs like down payments, closing costs, and rate buydowns. Eligibility and terms vary by program, so the right fit depends on the buyer's situation.
For a buyer who assumed the down payment put homeownership out of reach, the first step is simply finding out what's available.
SUCCESS COMES TO THOSE PREPARED.
