Programs For First Time Home Buyers
First Time Home Buyers have access to several programs that can help. We have a lot of experience helping First Time Buyers and can answer your questions and help guide you through the process.
Larimer Home Ownership Program
The Larimer Home Ownership Program is administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Loveland and offers down payment and closing cost assistance to low and moderate income families purchasing their first home
City of Fort Collins Home Buyers Assistance (HBA)
The City of Fort Collins Home Buyers Assistance is for households financially ready to buy a home but lack the required cash to cover down payment and closing costs.
The City of Fort Collins will provide a loan to eligible households to cover down payment and closing costs up to a maximum of 6% of the sales price (5% for down payment and 1% for closing costs if there are no Seller concessions). The assistance is in the form of a loan which is paid back when the house is either sold, transferred out of the buyer's name, rented, or if buyer seeks another second lien (like a home equity loan) on the property. Added to the payment (which is also due at sale, rental or transfer) is 5% interest on the principal.
