Popular Loan Programs for First-Time Buyers
Several loan programs are designed to make homeownership more accessible for first-time buyers.
- Conventional First-Time Buyer Loans
Programs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac allow qualified borrowers to purchase a home with as little as 3% down, making this a popular option for buyers with strong credit profiles. - FHA Loans
FHA loans are designed to provide flexible qualification guidelines and allow buyers to purchase with as little as 3.5% down. - VA Loans
Available to eligible service members and veterans, VA loans allow qualified borrowers to purchase a home with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. - Utah Housing Loan Program
Utah residents may qualify for special homebuyer programs through Utah Housing that can help cover the down payment and closing costs, allowing eligible buyers to purchase a home with little to no money down. These programs are designed to make homeownership more accessible and can often be combined with FHA, VA, or Conventional loans.
