HOMEBUYER SAVINGS
Buy Suitland Initiative
Up to 7% for Local Civic Employees
Suitland is the home to the Suitland Federal Center employing over 12,000 and a Metro station, is slated for a 22-acre mixed-use development project, and now has its own First-Time Homebuyer Program. The Buy Suitland Initiative will award 0% interest grants to households who have not owned a home within the last 3 years, and are buying a home as their principal residence.
Homebuyers can receive these grants for buying:
- Foreclosure and Short Sale properties
- NEW! The BUY SUITLAND Program will also award grants to assist purchasing owner occupied or vacant resale properties where the seller is at least 60 days delinquent on mortgage payments. Verification of mortgage delinquency at time of contract will be required.

Similar to the first NSP Program, the sale price of property under contract must be at a 1% discount of the most recent appraised value.
