Maine Housing’s First Home Program provides low-interest mortgage loans to help low and moderate-income homebuyers buy homes of their own – often with little or no down payment. First Home is available to first-time homebuyers and people who have not owned their own homes in the past 3 years.First Home interest rates are usually lower than conventional mortgage interest rates, so your monthly payments are lower. And interest rates are fixed, so your principal and interest payments will not increase. You can save thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. First Home Program options can make homeownership even more affordable for eligible borrowers:

Maine Housing has been a trusted source for mortgage financing for over 30 years. In 2006 alone, we provided more than 1,000 First Home mortgages at an average interest rate of 5.21%, and we provided down payment and closing cost assistance (an average benefit of $3,562) to nearly half of our buyers.
