Welcome, future Massachusetts homeowners! Navigating the path to buy a home can be daunting, especially for first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts. As a local loan officer, I'm here to guide you through a fantastic resource: the MassHousing Down Payment Assistance (DPA) program, designed to make homeownership more accessible across Massachusetts.
MassHousing is a state agency dedicated to providing affordable mortgage loans and down payment assistance to Massachusetts homebuyers. They offer a variety of mortgage program options and resources to help income-eligible first-time homebuyers achieve their dreams of homeownership. MassHousing provides crucial support for homebuyers across Massachusetts.
MassHousing provides down payment assistance through a second mortgage, helping borrowers cover the upfront payment and closing costs. These loans and down payment assistance options are designed to reduce the financial burden on first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts, making it easier to buy a home.
A MassHousing mortgage is important for Massachusetts homebuyers because it opens doors to homeownership, especially in our competitive market. With various payment assistance options, MassHousing can significantly ease the financial strain of a down payment, making the dream of owning a home a reality.
The MassHousing Down Payment Assistance program is primarily designed for first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts. To be eligible for a MassHousing mortgage, applicants must meet certain eligibility requirements and work with a MassHousing-approved lender to secure the loans with down payment assistance.
Income limits are a key factor in determining eligibility for MassHousing down payment assistance. These income limits vary depending on household size and the area median income (AMI) in the city and town in Massachusetts where you plan to buy. Always verify your specific AMI with your lender.
While primarily aimed at first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts, there are some exceptions that may allow previous homeowners to be eligible for a MassHousing mortgage. MassHousing provides options; contact MassHousing to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements even if you aren't a first-time buyer.
For first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts with income under 60% of the area median income, MassHousing provides significant payment assistance. MassHousing down payment assistance can reach up to $30,000 through a second mortgage. This mortgage loan comes with 0% interest and is fully deferred, meaning no monthly mortgage payments are required.
The mid-tier MassHousing down payment assistance is available for borrowers earning between 60-80% of the area median income. With this payment assistance from MassHousing, you can access up to $25,000 through a second mortgage. This loan carries a 2% interest rate, amortized over 15 years, requiring monthly mortgage payments.
For first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts with incomes between 80-135% of the area median income, MassHousing provides another tier of payment assistance. This mortgage loan offers up to $25,000 via a second mortgage at a 3% interest rate, amortized over 15 years. Though slightly higher than the mid-tier, it remains an affordable option.
In 2026, MassHousing is offering a limited-time promotion on its DPA program to help you get pre-approved for mortgage loans with down payment assistance. For a specific window, eligible first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts can access a $25,000 second mortgage with 0% interest and deferred payments. This significant payment assistance from MassHousing is available to those with incomes up to 135% of AMI.
The lock dates for this incredible MassHousing opportunity are April 27, 2026, through July 31, 2026. If you're a first-time homebuyer in Massachusetts within the income limits, this promotional period is the ideal time to secure your MassHousing down payment assistance. Contact a MassHousing-approved lender to know more.
The promotional MassHousing down payment assistance replaces the 2% and 3% amortizing options temporarily. This is a game-changer for first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts, providing substantial savings with no monthly payments on the DPA. After July 31, 2026, the regular amortizing options will resume.
Many first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts worry about affording a down payment. With payment assistance from the MassHousing DPA program, you can often reach the minimum required down payment, typically 3-5% depending on the first mortgage. Contact a MassHousing partner lender to determine if you are eligible for a MassHousing mortgage loan.
A common concern is whether you will have extra monthly mortgage payments with MassHousing DPA. Only the amortizing tiers require monthly payments. The deferred option keeps your monthly mortgage payments lower, offering significant relief for first-time homebuyers in Massachusetts. MassHousing provides flexible payment assistance options.
MassHousing down payment assistance is not free money but a repayable loan, a second mortgage. However, the low or zero interest rates and deferred terms make it very affordable compared to saving or borrowing elsewhere. MassHousing provides the option for the borrower to apply and be eligible for a MassHousing mortgage.
