OHCS FirstHome and NextStep, in plain numbers.

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) runs two Flex Lending products, FirstHome and NextStep, both 30-year fixed first mortgages that can pair with OHCS down payment assistance for buyers in Clackamas County.

Down payment assistance

OHCS DPA is a second loan equal to 4% or 5% of the total loan amount and can cover up to 100% of your cash to close, including the down payment, closing costs, and prepaids. It is forgivable for buyers at or below 80% of area median income and repayable for moderate-income buyers.

FirstHome

Built for low-to-moderate income buyers, FirstHome is geared to first-time and first-generation homebuyers, with required homebuyer education, a minimum credit score around 620, county income and purchase price limits, and a below-market fixed rate. No minimum borrower investment is required.

NextStep

NextStep is the expanded-eligibility product: repeat buyers qualify, and non-occupying co-signers are allowed. The qualifying income cap is $125,000, down payment assistance is required, and purchase price limits vary by county.

Income and purchase price limits are set per county and published by OHCS. Jeff can tell you whether FirstHome or NextStep fits your file and walk you through the current county limits before you apply.

Affordability FAQs · Wilsonville

Straight answers about buying in Wilsonville.

The questions buyers actually ask, with the numbers attached. If yours is not here, that is what the first call is for.

01

How much can I afford in Wilsonville, OR on a $150K income?

Roughly $530K to $685K at today's rates, assuming a 20% down payment and no other significant debt. That range uses a $150,000 household income, a 30-year fixed rate near 7.3% (the early October 2026 national average), property taxes of about 1.1% of the home value per year, homeowners insurance of about $110 a month, and a housing payment between 28% and 36% of gross income.

Compare that to Wilsonville's typical price around ~$700K, and you can see which side of the market that income supports today. A larger down payment, a co-borrower, or a lower rate moves the number quickly, which is why exact math matters.

This is an estimate to help you plan, not a quote. Jeff can run your exact income, debts, and credit through real programs and give you a number you can shop with.

02

What down payment assistance is available in Clackamas County?

OHCS down payment assistance is a second loan of 4% or 5% of the total loan amount that can cover up to 100% of your cash to close. It is forgivable for buyers at or below 80% of area median income and repayable for moderate-income buyers, and it pairs with the FirstHome and NextStep first mortgages.

03

What are the 2026 loan limits in Clackamas County?

The 2026 conforming limit for a one-unit home in Clackamas County is $832,750, and the 2026 FHA limit is $701,500. Loans above the conforming limit are jumbo and carry different pricing. Both limits are set annually by FHFA and HUD and can change each January.

04

Do I have to be a first-time buyer to qualify for assistance in OR?

FirstHome is geared to first-time and first-generation homebuyers, but NextStep is open to repeat buyers, and non-occupying co-signers are allowed. FirstHome uses county income limits, while NextStep caps qualifying income at $125,000.

05

What credit score do I need to buy a home in Wilsonville?

For conventional loans, a credit score at 620 or above is preferred, but scores under 620 can be approved case by case. FHA allows 580 with 3.5% down, and VA and USDA do not set a minimum of their own. Your rate improves as your score rises, so Jeff reviews your actual credit profile before picking the program.
