Local Mortgage Partners helps first-time buyers tap into limited-time funds and seller-paid closing costs in one of the most buyer-friendly markets of the decade
PARKER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / June 26, 2025 / Tate Anderson, a trusted mortgage broker in Parker, CO, is making headlines this summer with a rare opportunity for first-time homebuyers. With as little as $1,000 out of pocket, eligible buyers can now access non-repayable grant funds to cover their down payment-paired with sellers willing to pay closing costs for the first time in nearly a decade.
The combination of government-sponsored assistance programs and a cooling market has created a unique window for buyers who previously felt priced out of the market. "This is one of the few times in recent history where buyers have leverage," said Tate Anderson, founder of Local Mortgage Partners. "Not only are grants available, but sellers are motivated-making it possible to move into a home with less cash than ever before."
Down Payment Grants Mean Non-Repayable, Not Loans
Unlike loans that must be repaid, first-time buyer assistance grants offered through Local Mortgage Partners are completely non-repayable-eliminating a major barrier for buyers in Parker, Castle Rock, Aurora, and surrounding areas along with the Denver metro, Colorado Springs, and the entire state of Colorado. These programs are especially vital for renters ready to build equity but struggling to save while costs of living rise.
Why Now: Market Shifts Favor First-Time Buyers
According to recent housing trends, price growth has slowed in Parker and throughout Douglas County, prompting sellers to sweeten deals with closing cost incentives. "We haven't seen sellers consistently pay closing costs since the early 2010s," said Anderson. "It signals a major shift and a golden moment for buyers who can act fast."
With the right structure, many of Tate Anderson's clients are closing on homes with just $1,000 total out-of-pocket-less than a month's rent in most cases.
