What down-payment help can first-time buyers use in 2026?
Down payment help available to a first-time buyer in 2026 comes from federal, state and sometimes local programs, and eligibility for each one turns on income, household size and which loan program a buyer picks. Some programs can be layered together while others cannot, so a lender needs to check the specific guidelines rather than assuming they stack. Joel Boss coordinates that search with lenders across every town he covers.
