Buying Your First Home in Fort Collins

  • 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 Fort Collins buyers.
  • Payment, not price. Taxes, insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance set the monthly number. Two Fort Collins homes at the same price can differ by $300 a month.
  • Condo or house. A townhome or condo gets a first buyer into Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins 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.
