The HOME Program utilizes a 30-year fixed FHA home loan for Buyers approved for the program.
Though the maximum loan amount is currently $330,050.00, each borrower will be advised how much they are qualified to purchase for on a case-by-case basis.
The HOME Program requires all Buyers to submit a minimum $2,000.00 upon approval for the HOME Program. $1,000.00 will be used as a binder deposit once you’ve received an accepted purchase contract on the home you select. The remaining $1,000.00 will go towards the pre-purchase inspections for your home which include: Home Inspection, WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism / Termite) Inspection, and Appraisal Inspection. These funds are required upon starting the process.
When purchasing through the HOME Program, a Down Payment of 3.5% of the Purchase Price is required at closing. Example: If the home you purchase is $250,000.00, your Down Payment would be $8,750.00 ($250,000 x .035). This Down Payment would be paid at closing when you sign your closing documents and get the key to your new home.
