NJ Lenders Corp. Empowers Buyers With Down Payment Assistance Programs

Owning a home is an integral part of the American dream, but for many, that dream may currently seem out of reach. Many borrowers are currently facing affordability challenges amid rising mortgage rates and increasing housing costs. 

 

In response, the availability of homebuyer and down payment assistance programs has recently surged across the nation. Although these programs remain largely untapped, NJ Lenders Corp. is proud to connect their borrowers with the best program for their family. 



NJ Lenders Corp. Connects Borrowers with Increasing Number of Down Payment Assistance Programs

 

The latest data reveals an increase in the availability of mortgage assistance programs across the nation. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, the count grew by 204 programs compared to the previous year. This surge marks the most significant annual increase in nearly four years, reflecting a concerted effort to support aspiring homeowners.

Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner looking to make a move, NJ Lenders Corp. is proud to connect their clients with programs that are designed to bridge the gap and make homeownership a reality for individuals and families across diverse financial backgrounds.

 

According to Down Payment Resource (DPR), which has been tracking the count of homebuyer assistance programs since the third quarter of 2020, there are now 2,373 assistance programs available throughout the nation. DPR also reported that each county boasts at least one program, with over 2,000 counties offering a number of options, some with as many as ten programs available to county residents.



Navigating Down Payment Assistance Programs With NJ Lenders Corp. 

 

Despite the abundance of resources, a significant portion of down payment assistance programs remain untapped because buyers, lenders, and agents often remain unaware of their existence or harbor misconceptions about accessibility and eligibility criteria.

 

Most DPA program providers tailor their requirements to local median income and housing prices, ensuring inclusivity across both low and high-cost markets. The team at NJ Lenders Corp. can help you navigate these programs and find the best fit for your family.
