The team at NW Capital Mortgage works with both state-backed programs and proprietary programs, making it easier for buyers to qualify for competitive interest rates. We also pair you with Washington state down payment assistance to reduce—and possibly eliminate—your upfront costs.

As a WSHFC-approved lender, we help buyers understand Washington bond home loans, match them with the right assistance programs, and guide them through the process from pre-approval to closing.

What Are Washington Bond Loans?

Washington bond home loans are affordable mortgage programs offered through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC). These programs are designed to help first-time homebuyers access low-interest financing and combine their loan with down payment or closing-cost assistance. They can be originated only through approved mortgage lenders (that’s us).

When paired with assistance, Washington bond home loans can dramatically reduce the amount of money needed upfront to purchase a home.
