Buying Your First Home in Colorado Springs

• Down payment is smaller than you think. Three percent conventional, 3.5 percent FHA, zero VA and USDA where eligible. Colorado's CHFA and metroDPA programs stack on top for qualified Colorado Springs buyers.
• Payment, not price. Taxes, insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance set the monthly number. Two Colorado Springs homes at the same price can differ by $300 a month.
• Condo or house. A townhome or condo gets a first buyer into Colorado Springs for less, with HOA dues. A small house on a lot costs more and builds more equity. We show you both.
• Inspect and negotiate. Starter homes are older homes. Roof, furnace, sewer line and electrical are the four items; sellers in Colorado Springs credit for them.
• Seller credits. A seller-paid closing-cost credit is standard on starter homes and cuts your cash to close. We ask for it.
