SMARTMOVE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM (view this page in spanish)

The SmartMove Homeownership fund enables homebuyers to purchase homes in southwestern Connecticut. For qualified borrowers, SmartMove provides low-interest (3%, APR = 3.42% to 4.74%) 20-year second mortgages of up to 20% of the purchase price. SmartMove borrowers do not have to pay for mortgage insurance and also benefit from lower mortgage payments. Borrowers can put down as little as 1% of the purchase price towards the purchase of their home. There is a $2,000-$2,500 service fee for SmartMove borrowers. This fee is not included in the loan amount and will be added to closing costs.
