MassHousing can help!

Not enough savings for a down payment on a home?

MassHousing and Fidelity Bank can help put home ownership within reach.

Fidelity Bank is a preferred MassHousing lender and their loans just got even more affordable! For qualified borrowers*, MassHousing now provides down payment assistance for up to 5% of the purchase price or $15,000, whichever is less. Great for first-time homebuyers!

  • Down payment assistance is a 15-year, fixed-rate loan at 2%
    • (Example: $15,000 down payment assistance loan = 180 payments of $96.53; 2.011% APR)
  • Repayment of the down payment assistance is also due upon sale or refinance of the property prior to the end of the 15-year term
  • Special programs and higher income limits for first-time homebuyers in the Commonwealth’s 26 Gateway Cities*
