ZILLOW JUST ANNOUNCED DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE… BUT DID YOU KNOW TEXAS BUYERS ALREADY HAVE SOME AMAZING OPTIONS?!
Zillow’s new program offers up to 3.5% in down payment assistance, and that’s great news for homebuyers!
But before you jump on the newest program, let’s compare! 👀
At CMG Home Loans, we have access to several programs, including TSAHC, TDHCA, SETH, and CMG’s own assistance options that may be an even BETTER fit!
💰 Why consider these programs instead?
✅ Assistance options offering up to 5% for qualifying buyers.
✅ Some programs offer TRUE GRANTS that don’t have to be repaid!
✅ Some forgivable assistance options have a 3-year forgiveness period, compared to Zillow’s 5 years.
✅ Assistance may cover closing costs AND down payment, not just the down payment.
✅ More financing choices, including FHA, Conventional, VA, and USDA, depending on eligibility.
✅ Certain buyers may qualify for additional homebuyer tax benefits!
💗 Here’s what I want buyers to understand:
The biggest advertised assistance amount doesn’t automatically mean the BEST mortgage.
Your interest rate, monthly payment, closing costs, repayment requirements, and long-term savings ALL matter!
Don’t choose a mortgage based on a headline. Choose one based on the numbers provided by an EXPERT!
