1% Down Payment Program

Written by Union Home Mortgage | Aug 2, 2024 6:57:00 AM

Union Home Mortgage is excited to announce that through the 1% Down Payment Program, we have contributed more than $1 million to support low-to-moderate income first-time homebuyers. Since its launch in December 2023, over 400 families have been able to achieve homeownership, with an average grant received from UHM being over $2,700.

How the Program Works

Through UHM’s 1% Down Payment Program, eligible first-time homebuyers have the opportunity to contribute as little as 1% of the home’s purchase price as their down payment. On top of that, Union Home Mortgage will provide an extra 2% towards the down payment. This means that for qualified applicants, the total initial down payment could be as low as 3%, significantly easing the financial burden associated with purchasing a first home.

Who Qualifies?

The 1% Down Payment Program is designed specifically for first-time homebuyers who meet the eligibility criteria of the Fannie Mae HomeReady and Freddie Mac Home Possible Programs. These programs are both tailored to provide increased flexibility and options for low-income borrowers. Additionally, qualifying homebuyers must meet the following requirements:

  • Income is less than or equal to 80% of the area median income

  • The property must be a primary residence

  • At least one occupying borrower must be a first-time homebuyer

How to Apply

To explore the possibility of participating in Union Home Mortgage’s 1% Down Payment Program, prospective first-time homebuyers are encouraged to connect with a UHM Loan Officer or reach out to us today through uhm.com.
