"Good Ideas!" e-Newsletter Spring 2026 - Programs for first-time homebuyers, Refinancing opportunities and free Shred Day/May 30th

DISCOUNTED-RATE MORTGAGE PROGRAMS & A FREE INFO SESSION ESPECIALLY FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS

If you - or someone you know - is hoping to buy their first home …

SPRING 2026

At Canton Co-operative, we specialize in working with first-time homebuyers. That includes the two special mortgage programs we have for people who qualify as first-time homebuyers under the HUD guidelines and it also includes offering a free HomeBuyer Info Session on Saturday, April 11th.

Our first-time homebuyer mortgage programs let you choose either a fixed or an adjustable rate mortgage, both with favorable discounted rates. You can put down as little as 3% and that 3% can be a gift. You get a $500 credit toward closing costs. And you get to work with our local lenders who like helping people get into their first homes. Questions? Call 781-828-8811 x4 or email VP/Senior Loan Officer Anabela Vargas or come see us.

And on Saturday, April 11th, we will once again be sponsoring our free Info Session for first-time homebuyers. You are also welcome if you haven’t bought a house in a while.

Canton Co-operative VP/Senior Loan Officer Anabela Vargas, real estate Attorney Michelle Tiews of Vieira & DiGianfilippo and REALTOR® Nancy Lesperance of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate will answer your questions and help you learn all about the ins & outs of buying a home today.

The Info Session is free and it runs from 10AM until 11:30AM. You can attend either in person here at the Bank at 671 Washington Street, Canton or on Zoom – your choice!

Registration is required.
Call Anabela Vargas at 781-828-8811 x370 or register online . If Saturday, April 11th doesn’t work for you or if you’d like to talk sooner, call or email Anabela Vargas to schedule a personal meeting.
