Freddie Mac BorrowSmart℠ is a down payment and closing cost assistance program for income-eligible homebuyers. It provides a credit at closing, which can be used toward your closing costs or to buy down the interest rate.
This credit doesn’t need to be repaid, and unlike some programs, it’s not a loan or second lien.
The assistance you receive depends on your income level and property location. Here's a quick breakdown:
$2,500 credit for very low-income borrowers (≤50% of Area Median Income, or AMI)
$1,250 credit for low-income borrowers (50.01–80% of AMI)
$500 credit for moderate-income borrowers (80.01–100% of AMI), available in certain markets
We will help you determine exactly how much you're eligible for, based on your income and where you're buying.
✅ Free money toward your home purchase
