1% Down Payment Mortgage
1% down payment mortgage
We have a new and exciting Conventional loan program that is great for those who have been underserved in this current market.
- 1% Down Payment
- No PMI
- You do NOT have to be a first time homebuyer
- This program is available for a limited time, so act fast!
To take advantage of this low-down payment loan option, you must meet several requirements, including:
- Making less than 80% of the median income in the area where you’re looking to buy.
- A credit score of 620 or higher.
- Purchasing a single-unit primary residence.
Both first-time and repeat homebuyers can qualify and we lend in Arkansas, Colorado and Florida.
“We know that there’s a lack of supply in this country,” said Tamala Stewart, President of New Season Mortgage. “This helps a large community of potential homeowners get a leg up in a market that’s already fairly competitive. We think this will particularly help our teachers, police officers, firefighters, and so many others who have not been able to save the full 3% – 20% down payment.”
Let's take a look at how the 1% down payment loan compares to the 2 most common low down payment loans we offer.
In this example, we used a purchase price of $350,000 and the minimum down payment each program requires.
HomeReady requires a 3% down payment and FHA requires 3.5%. We priced them all out using today’s (July 24, 2023) interest rate, a 750 credit score, and a DTI of 45%. They are all used for a single family purchase of a primary home.
The interest rate and APR are much less as well as the monthly payment (principal and interest only) with the 1% Down Payment loan. The down payment is only $3,500, where the other two are much higher. You are also allowed to receive the sellers help with closing costs.

The displayed Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a measure of the cost to borrow money expressed as a yearly percentage. For mortgage loans, it includes the interest rate plus other charges or fees (such as mortgage insurance, discount points, and origination charges). When shopping for a mortgage, you can use the APR to compare the costs of similar loans between lenders. We based the mortgage interest rates shown on a 30-day rate lock period. These mortgage rates are based upon a variety of assumptions and conditions, which include a consumer credit score that may be higher or lower than your individual credit score. Your loan’s interest rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of your loan transaction and your credit history up to the time of closing.
