Escondido HOME Program

• Silent 2nd mortgage for $25,000
   
• Can be applied toward down payment or closing costs
   
• Maximum purchase price based upon the number of bedrooms as follows: (1 bedroom - max price = $226,000) (2 bedrooms - max price = $254,000) (3 bedrooms - max price  = $283,000) (4 bedrooms - max price = $331,000) (5 bedrooms - max price = $350,000). As a result, this program typically only works for condos and not houses.
   
• Income limited to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI). The income is calculated by adding the incomes of all wage earners in the household, regardless of whether they will be on the loan or not.
   
• No equity sharing with the city upon resale.
   
• There is no city property inspection, which is the case with many other local programs.
   
• There is no minimum borrower asset reserve requirement or minimum down payment requirement.
   
• The property must be vacant at the time that the purchase contract is completed.
   
• Buyer must take a HUD-Approved Course
