Answers to the questions Utah homeowners ask most.
A reverse mortgage (HECM) lets Utah homeowners 62 and older convert home equity into tax-free funds without monthly mortgage payments. You stay on title and continue to own the home.
Utah veterans can buy with 0% down, no monthly mortgage insurance, lower rates than conventional, and flexible credit guidelines — all backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Utah buyers can put as little as 0% down with a VA or USDA loan, 3% with conventional, or 3.5% with FHA. Down-payment assistance programs are also available statewide.
Pre-approval typically takes 24–48 hours with complete documents. Full loan approval to closing usually runs 18–30 days for purchases in Utah.
You can buy a home in Utah with a credit score as low as 580 using an FHA loan, 620 for conventional, and there is no published minimum for VA loans (most lenders use 580–620).
Utah Housing Corporation, FHA, conventional 3%-down programs, VA, and USDA all serve first-time buyers. Down-payment assistance is widely available.
