Struggling with the down payment?
You're not alone—and you're not out of options.
Good news: There are grants, second mortgages, and even forgivable loans available right here in Utah that could cover part—or even all—of your down payment. Whether you're a first-time buyer or haven't owned in 3+ years, there’s likely a program designed for you.
What Is Down Payment Assistance?
Down Payment Assistance (DPA) helps homebuyers cover one of the biggest hurdles to homeownership: the upfront cost. These programs sometimes come bundled with a loan program for the mortgage.
They come in 3 forms:
✅ Grants – Free money you don’t have to pay back
✅ Second mortgages – Some are deferred or forgiven after a few years.
✅ Tax credits – Reduce your out-of-pocket housing costs
Most are geared toward first-time buyers, teachers, veterans, or buyers with low to moderate incomes. Credit and income rules apply—but they’re more flexible than you might think.
Know your budget - Pre-approval gives you an idea of what you can afford, allowing you to make informed decisions when shopping for a home.
Be a competitive buyer - Having a pre-approval letter shows sellers that you're a serious and committed buyer, making you stand out in a crowded market.
Streamline the process - The pre-approval process helps you identify any potential roadblocks early on, allowing you to address them before you find the home of your dreams.
Negotiate with confidence - Knowing that you have financing secured gives you the confidence to negotiate the best terms and price for your new home.
