downpayment assistance

My DH and I will be looking to buy a house after we move from NJ to upstate NY later this spring. Due to the cost of moving, I'm afraid to look at houses right away because we couldn't have much of an e-fund after moving and downpayment/closing costs. My dad recommended I look into downpayment assistance programs...is anyone here familiar with a successful program?

thanks!

Re: downpayment assistance

  • We looked into them but we made too much to qualify. They are usually run by counties or towns, and you need to already live in them to qualify. I would google the town and county you want to move to with "down payment assistance" or "affordable housing" to see what pops up.
  • We have something like this in NH.  It can either be 2% or 4% of the purchase price towards downpayment and closing costs, but you have to bring at least 1% additional of your own money to the table.  And ours has salary caps on it as well.

    Honestly I don't think we're going to be using it since it comes with a higher intrest rate.  We are able to keep the monthly payment the same and finance more of the purchase price with that lower intrest rate.

    I think you need to run the numbers both ways to see what works best.  I would check to see if there is a state agency for this.

  • We used one. We had about 5% of the sales price to put down. With the assistance program we put down close to 20%. Ours is a zero interest, no payment loan if we live in the house for at least 6 years. If we sell before then we have to pay a certain percentage back immediately. Ours was state run and didn't require a previous residency in the state, only that the house would be our primary residence.
