Buying a Home in Maryland

A clear, practical path from planning to keys in hand.

Start with a plan that fits your goals

Buying a home is more than finding a property you love. We’ll help you understand your budget, review financing options, and create a step-by-step plan for your purchase.

1

Get pre-approved

Talk with a qualified lender before you shop so you understand your budget, monthly payment, and closing costs.

2

Explore neighborhoods

Compare homes, commutes, amenities, and long-term value with a local perspective.

3

Make a confident offer

Review comparable sales, contingencies, timelines, and negotiation strategy before you commit.

MARYLAND GRANTS & ASSISTANCE

Down payment and closing-cost help may be available

The Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) offers home loan options and may pair eligible buyers with down payment assistance. Depending on the program, assistance may be structured as a grant or a deferred, no-interest loan. Cities and counties may also offer their own programs.

  • Maryland Mortgage Program: Explore statewide loan and down payment assistance options.
  • Local assistance: Several Maryland jurisdictions offer programs for eligible buyers to help with down payments and settlement costs.
  • Homebuyer education: Counseling or education may be required for some programs and can help you compare options before applying.

Program availability, eligibility, income limits, and terms can change. Always confirm details directly with the program administrator and a qualified lender.
