Are 3% Down Loans Going Away?

You may have heard that 3% down conventional loans are going away on November 16.  That's true, except when it's not.  Here's when it's not true:

The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) has a conventional loan program that only requires 3% down.  It will NOT go away on November 16.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Only 3% down and the down payment can be a gift from a relative
• There is no mortgage insurance
• 30-year, fixed rate mortgage
• This is for owner-occupied properties only
• The borrower cannot own any other properties
• No condos, but townhouses are OK
• The borrower does NOT have to be a first-time homebuyer
• Maximum purchase price in the Denver-Metro area is $375,000.  Boulder County is $417,000.
• Maximum household income in the Denver-Metro area is $79,300 for a 1-2 person household and $91,100 for a 3+ person household.  Boulder County is $93,800 for 1-2 people and $107,800 for 3+ people.

The important thing to remember is that not every lender is approved by CHFA to sell these loans.  We are one of the lenders that is approved to sell 3% down loans, along with all kinds of other loans.  That's why we are some of the top producing lenders in Colorado.
