Montgomery County’s Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit (MPDU) Program offers affordably priced townhomes and condominiums – both new and resale – to first-time home-buyers who have a moderate household income (see list of minimum and maximum income levels below).
MPDU buyers must be able to qualify for a mortgage; pay a down payment; pay settlement fees including advance taxes and advance insurance; and pay a monthly mortgage payment, utilities, and other costs. The MPDU Program does not provide financing to purchase MPDUs. Special financing and down payment and closing cost assistance are available through the Housing Opportunities Commission.
MPDU owners are responsible for all home maintenance, home improvements, condo and homeowner association fees (if applicable), and compliance with homeowner or condominium rules and regulations.
