Homeownership loans through the Maryland Mortgage Program more than doubled in 2015 with the overall value of loans totaling more than $638 million, the Hogan administration announced today.

 

The dramatic increase in sales marked one of the program's most productive years in nearly a decade and is seen as a sign of the state's steadily strengthening housing market. Sales also were boosted by several successful initiatives that opened new homeownership opportunities to hardworking families throughout Maryland.
