How Do I Apply?
Contact a local mortgage company or bank of choice and ask to be pre-qualified for a mortgage loan. Ask about the Maryland Mortgage Program, any available first-time homebuyer incentives, and assistance with down payment and closing costs. Once you have received a pre-qualification letter, you may schedule a tour of our available home(s) and apply for the Homeownership Program.
Are you working with a realtor and interested in one of our Homeownership Properties? The City will pay a 2.5% commission to your realtor if you successfully complete the home purchase through our Homeownership Program.
