The New Enhanced HomeReady® Program

HomeReady® Mortgage

Exciting news. The new enhanced HomeReady program is increasing access to homeownership!

The New HomeReady® Program Highlights

  • Borrowers must have a qualifying income of less than or equal to 50% of the applicable area median income of the property’s location.

  • The $2,500 credit must be provided upfront to the borrower and can be applied towards down payment and/or closing costs, including mortgage insurance premiums.

  • Very low-income individuals

  • First-time or repeat homebuyers

  • Those with limited cash for down payment

  • Supplemental boarder or rental income

What You Need to Know

While HomeReady® offers incredible benefits, it's essential to understand the details:

  • Homeownership Education: If all occupying borrowers are first-time homebuyers, then at least one borrower is required to take homeownership education, regardless of LTV.  It’s a small investment in knowledge that can yield significant rewards in your homeownership journey.

  • Act Now: The $2,500 credit is only available until February 15, 2025. Don't miss out on this limited-time opportunity to take advantage of the HomeReady® program.

Eligibility requirements, exclusions and other terms and conditions apply.
