In 2012, the typical Homewise\u00ae Santa Fe homebuyer paid $195,000 for their home. Eleven years later, in March 2023, that same home was worth $379,626, almost twice what they paid for it. In addition to the $37,094 in equity gained through paydown of their mortgage principal, the typical homebuyer gained $184,626 in equity from market appreciation, adding $221,720 to their net worth.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These results are even more impactful when you consider that the typical Homewise\u00ae homebuyer has total household income under $60,000 and median savings of $7,500 at the time of purchase.

If America is to meaningfully narrow the racial wealth gap through homeownership, two actions are critical. First, we must increase access to homeownership for households of color. Second, we must solidify the benefits of homeownership for people of color by eliminating extractive practices in mortgage lending and home buying that diminish the wealth-building benefits of homeownership for Black and Hispanic homeowners. Homewise\u00ae is doing just that through our full continuum of home purchase services specifically geared to the needs and priorities of first-time, moderate-income homebuyers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Homebuyer education and coaching<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> \u2013 for many Homewise\u00ae clients, the path to homeownership begins with homebuyer education and mentoring from a home purchase advisor (HPA) who helps them understand their finances and chart a path to becoming \u201cbuyer ready\u201d by reducing their monthly debts, increasing their savings, and improving their credit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Home purchase assistance<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> \u2013 Homewise\u00ae\u2019s non-commissioned realtors help buyers find the right home while their HPAs assemble downpayment assistance from a variety of sources to make the homes affordable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Lending<\/span><\/i><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> &#8211; <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Homewise\u00ae mortgage is a 30-year fixed rate loan with a second that eliminates the need for mortgage insurance with as little as 1 percent down, saving buyers thousands of dollars in wealth-extracting mortgage insurance premiums.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Servicing <\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013 Despite serving primarily low- and moderate-income borrowers, Homewise\u00ae maintains a delinquency rate well below that of FHA because we don\u2019t sell the servicing rights to our loans.\u00a0 As of April 2023, FHA had a delinquency rate of 9.27 percent<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> while the Homewise\u00ae delinquency rate was 2.09 percent.
