Can I buy a home if I haven’t saved enough for a down payment?
You may not need 20% down. Village Mortgage can help you find out whether Utah Housing assistance could help you buy.
Eligible buyers may be able to combine an FHA or conventional first mortgage through a Utah Housing program with a separate assistance loan for the down payment and closing costs.
The assistance is a second mortgage that must be repaid. The amount available, repayment terms, and money you still need depend on the program and your situation.

We can start by talking about what you’ve saved, what monthly payment you’re comfortable with, and what you’d like to buy. An initial conversation is not a loan approval; confirming what you qualify for requires further review.

What we can help you understand
You don’t need to know whether you qualify before calling.
- Whether the program’s requirements fit your situation.
- What money you may still need to bring to closing.
- How the mortgage, assistance repayment terms, taxes, and insurance affect your monthly costs.
If you’ve owned a home before and aren’t sure whether a first-time homebuyer program applies to you, tell us. We’ll check the program’s requirements with you.
