MANCHESTER, N.H. — St. Mary’s Bank has been recognized as a top ten lender by New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority for the eighth consecutive year.
“We are so honored to again be recognized as a top affordable housing lender,” said Karen Mayrand, St. Mary’s Bank SVP-director of Residential Lending. “It really reflects the effort and resources we put into making homeownership affordable, especially for first-time homebuyers. By working with organizations like New Hampshire Housing, we are able to offer more borrowers the lower rates and much-needed down-payment assistance that make all the difference when it comes to buying a first home.”
New Hampshire lenders such as St. Mary’s Bank helped almost 2,000 homebuyers find affordable homes and loans this year.
The Mortgage Center at St. Mary’s Bank participates in the New Hampshire Housing Home Flex and Home Flex Plus programs. These first-time homebuyer programs provide low and moderate income persons with affordable mortgage financing and help with down payment and closing costs. Many two-to-four family homes are eligible under the program.
