About This Program in Vail

USDA financing is not available within Vail proper — the area does not meet USDA's rural designation requirement. However, buyers in Vail have strong alternatives: FHA at 3.5% down ($73,500 on Vail's $2,100,000 median), VA with $0 down for veterans, and state down payment assistance programs.

The Vail Market

For buyers who need the lowest possible down payment in Vail, FHA is the primary option with down payments starting at $73,500. Colorado's DPA programs can further reduce out-of-pocket costs at closing. Ask us to model your best path.

Who Qualifies

USDA requires the home to be a primary residence and meet minimum property standards. Investment properties, vacation homes, and income-producing farms do not qualify.
