FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS
At Vermont Federal, we know how big of an accomplishment it is becoming a first-time home buyer. Because of that, we want to do everything we can to help you get there sooner. Many first-time home buyers struggle to come up with the necessary down payment. With our first-time home buyer program, you can borrow up to 97% of the home value or purchase price (whichever is lower) when you purchase a single family home or condominium. This means you only need a 3% down payment.
