Freddie Mac Down Payment Assistance

We are proud to offer the Freddie Mac BorrowSmart® program, helping make homeownership more affordable for eligible homebuyers. 

Eligible homebuyers can use these down payment assistance programs to:

  • Achieve the minimum down payment required for their home loan
  • Cover all or part of their closing costs
  • Lower their monthly mortgage payment and debt-to-income ratio
  • Bring less of their own funds to the closing table, retaining more funds for future needs 

Freddie Mac BorrowSmart® 

The Freddie Mac BorrowSmart® program provides $1,250 in assistance for income-qualified homebuyers to be used toward the down payment or closing costs required to purchase a home.
