HomePath Requirements for Buyers
You don't have to be a first-time home buyer to use this program. Repeat buyers and investors are welcome too. That said, there are a few standard requirements to keep in mind.
Here's what the HomePath purchase process requires:
- No contingency on selling your current home: Your offer cannot depend on selling another property first. You also cannot delay closing while waiting for funds from another sale.
- Credit Score Check: It is best to know your score before you apply. A score of 580 or higher can qualify you for many loan options.
- Close within 60 days: You must be ready to close and move in within 60 days. The home must be your primary residence for at least one year.
- Work with a licensed real estate agent: Offers must go through a licensed agent. Our team is registered nationwide and can help connect you with the right agent.
- Use the standard sales contract: A specific sales contract format is required. This keeps the process fast, fair, and efficient for all parties.
- Get pre-approved before making an offer:Cash buyers aside, a mortgage pre-approval letter is required. Our team at Dream Home Mortgage can help you get pre-approved fast.
- Buy the home "as-is": The home is sold in its current condition. A professional home inspection is strongly recommended.
- Complete a homebuyer education course: Buyers must finish a short online course with seven modules. You'll also need to pass a simple assessment exam.

These homes may include single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-unit properties. Not every home is move-in ready, as some may need repairs. Therefore, you have to plan for possible renovation costs.

How to Buy a HomePath Property
Buying a HomePath property follows a clear path. Our team at Dream Home Mortgage is here to walk you through each stage, from your first question to closing day.
Step 1. Get Pre-Approved:
You can start here. A pre-approval shows you're financially ready to buy. It also sets your budget so you know exactly what you can afford.
Step 2. Search for a HomePath Property:
Once pre-approved, search for available homes online. You can filter by state, city, zip code, price, bedrooms, and more.
Step 3. Hire a Real Estate Agent:
You have to work with a licensed agent familiar with HomePath offers who represents your interests, not the seller.
Step 4. Complete the Homebuyer Education Course:
The online course has seven simple modules, works on any device, and only requires passing a final exam.
Step 5. Submit Your Offer:
You have to register on HomePath, submit your offer with a pre-approval letter, and make your best bid.
