The Market’s Challenge

Consumer surveys find that saving for a down payment is the number one barrier to homeownership. Even with lower home prices and more homes on the market, many would-be homebuyers remain on the fence. Many don't know that there is money available in down payment assistance programs throughout Northern Nevada. DPR is tracking and integrating numerous programs in our area, currently funded and available for use. Many of the Active Residential listings in our database may be eligible for one or more assistance program.
