Financing Your first home

Determine what you can afford

Each buyer is unique - and we'll help you find out just what you can afford. Your income and your debts will typically play the biggest roles in determining your price range. It's simple to make an estimate, just run the numbers for yourself using our Affordability Calculator.

Figure out your funding

A range of mortgage options are available, and we'll help you determine which can work for you - some loans require little money down. You'll also need to consider closing costs and the escrow account for taxes and insurance. But don't get overwhelmed: it's a snap to figure out how much money you'll need using the Affordability Calculator.

Less-than-perfect credit report?

Don't worry, there are options that are ideal for those who have a few "dings" on their credit report. Work with your lender to develop an individual mortgage program based on your unique credit worthiness.

Loan Programs

Finding the best loan program for your needs depends on a number of factors, including:

How long you'll stay in the home;

How much money you'll put down;

How you'll finance the closing costs.

For information on the loan programs and rates available just visit Loan Programs.

Tax Benefits

You may be able to deduct the interest you pay on the mortgage loan and some of the financing costs of the home, such as points. And your property taxes could be deductible. You should consult your tax advisor for more information.
