Financial Incentives
The City of Auburn provides various financial incentives to make homeownership more affordable. The City will pay up to $3,000 in closing costs which alleviates some of the out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the buyer. In addition, the NAHDC will provide a 30-year amortized loan at three percent (3%) for twenty percent (20%) of the sales price. Providing this subordinate loan decreases the monthly mortgage payment.
