Quick Answer

Yes. A HECM for Purchase lets buyers 62+ buy a new home with roughly 50–65% down and no monthly mortgage payment for life.

Detailed answer

HECM for Purchase is ideal for Utah retirees right-sizing into a smaller or newer home — particularly in Washington County. You bring a down payment, the reverse mortgage covers the rest, and you have no monthly mortgage payment as long as you live in the home.
