Oakwood Homes Partners with Colorado Housing and Finance Authority to Launch Pilot Program in Colorado

DENVER, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Oakwood Homes, Nest Home Lending and Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) announced a new first time homebuyer pilot program designed to take affordable homeownership to the next level by pairing a builder-paid interest rate buydown with CHFA's well-known and trusted first mortgage loan and down payment assistance programs. 

"We're excited to partner with CHFA and Nest Home Lending to exclusively offer first time homebuyers a comprehensive solution to help address financial barriers that may stand between Coloradans and their dreams of homeownership," said Michael Fraley, Oakwood Homes chief growth officer. "Oakwood Homes is dedicated to making homeownership more attainable both through its work with groups like CHFA and Nest Home Lending and by building value-packed homes and communities, helping families build generational wealth and long-term financial security."

Qualifying homebuyers may have the opportunity to purchase their first home with competitive financing, affordable down payment options and additional resources to ensure a smooth and successful buying process. Nest Home Lending will provide the mortgage options and expert guidance tailored to each borrower's unique needs.

"CHFA's commitment to supporting Coloradans in achieving responsible, affordable homeownership closely aligns with this pilot program's mission. This new partnership builds upon the success of CHFA's 50-year track record of helping Coloradans by pairing our loan and down payment assistance resources with an interest-rate buydown from Oakwood Homes," said Dan McMahon, director of home finance at CHFA. "CHFA looks forward to exploring how this pilot program may expand in the future with even more partners to advance affordable homeownership across the state."
