Who it is for

First-time home buyers in New Jersey, including those looking at NJHMFA down payment assistance.

Not the right fit if

You're buying outside New Jersey, or you need a lender, an attorney or an inspector: this keeps their paperwork in order.

Why it is different

- NJHMFA program details from the agency's fact sheets (June and October 2026).
- Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure timing from the CFPB.
- Works with the Home Buying Cost and Affordability Planner for the math.

What is inside

- **Buyer readiness checklist.** NJHMFA programs and DPA by county, the Loan Estimate rules and questions for lenders.
- **Lender document folder.** The papers lenders commonly ask for, with a sent-and-confirmed log.
- **Offer and inspection timeline.** Every date from offer to closing, filled in from your contract.
- **Closing day checklist.** The Closing Disclosure check, who pays the transfer fees, the last week and the day.
