First Time Home Buyer Programs
We have plenty of programs designed to help first-time homebuyers purchase a home.
The Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) are state-specific and offer programs to residents to help with down-payment assistance. Most of these programs offer special incentives for first-time homebuyers. Our most popular first-time homebuyer loan is the Maryland Mortgage Program, for which First Home Mortgage is the #1 Lender for MMP. Purchase and income limits apply.
There are variety of additional programs available to help first-time buyers, including DC Open Doors, Chenoa Funds, FHLB Grants, Freddie Mac BorrowSmart®, and other local assistance loans and grants. Our First Home Advantage program provides discounted rates for first-time buyers earning under 100% Area Median Income (120% in high-cost areas). The only way to know your options is to get pre-qualified with us first so we can determine the best fit for you.
Conditions and guidelines vary depending on the program or agency. Please call to check availability of funds. Freddie Mac BorrowSmart® is a registered trademark of Freddie Mac.
