Get Up To $15,000 When You Buy a Home!

If you haven’t owned your own home in the past 3 years, you may qualify for MaineHousing’s Gift of Green. For a limited time, MaineHousing is offering eligible borrowers who use a MaineHousing mortgage:
  • Up to $5,000 (not to exceed 4% of the mortgage amount) to help with the cash needed for closing, such as any required down payment, closing costs, and prepaids.

  • A coupon worth up to $500 for a 2-part home energy audit.

The Gift of Green is a gift, which will not be added to the loan amount, and it never has to be paid back.

Because the Gift of Green promotion is part of MaineHousing’s mortgage program, you also may be able to use the Purchase Plus Improvement Option to fund home energy improvements as part of your mortgage. MaineHousing mortgages even come with payment protection for unemployment.

Total Financial Incentives of Up To $15,000!

Add the Gift of Green grant of up to $5,500 to the federal First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit worth up to $8,000. This, in turn, lets you invest in home energy-efficiency improvements that may qualify for additional federal tax credits worth up to $1,500.

The combination of financial incentives through the Gift of Green and federal tax credits could add up to $15,000 -- a once in a lifetime opportunity!
