Because there are downpayment assistance program which require
the home seller to contribute the downpayment amount to the
homebuyer, some home sellers may falsely inflate the asking price of
their homes in order to compensate for the contributed amount of
money. This may result in the homebuyer paying more than the market
value for the house.
When utilizing a downpayment assistance program your real estate
agent should properly determine a fair price for the home and protect
you against an inflated home price.
Below are a few downpayment programs but keep in mind due to
funding, some programs may not be currently functioning.
