Free Homebuying Webinars
At Oregon State Credit Union
Join us this summer for our complimentary homebuying webinars, with live sessions designed to help you learn and ask questions about buying a home.
Let’s talk home-buying — and turn questions into confidence
Thinking about buying a home? You’re in the right place.
We’re hosting a free, live mortgage webinar series happening throughout the summer, created to help you understand home loans in a clear, approachable way. These sessions are relaxed, informative, and led by real people who want to support your goals — no sales pitch, just useful insights. Whether you’re just beginning to explore homeownership or picking up where you left off, you’ll leave feeling more informed, more confident, and maybe even surprised by how enjoyable learning about mortgages can be.
Presentation topics include:
- What lenders look for (income, credit, cash, and the home) and why it matters
- Credit demystified — scores, reports, usage, and non traditional credit options
- Upfront costs explained — down payments (some as low as 3%*), closing costs and Oregon down payment assistance programs
- Monthly payments decoded — what’s included, what PMI is, and how loan terms change what you pay
- Loan options simplified — fixed vs. adjustable rates, first time buyer programs, and finding what fits you
This webinar series is for:
- Future homebuyers who are curious but not ready to apply yet
- First-time buyers who want clarity before committing
- Repeat buyers who haven’t gone through the process in a while
- Renters wondering, “Could buying actually be an option for me?”
- Couples or families planning their next steps toward homeownership
- Potential buyers hoping to purchase later this year — or even next year

*Payment example: Based on a $500,000 purchase price for a single‑family primary residence located in Benton County, Oregon, with a 3% cash downpayment of $15,000, the resulting loan amount is $485,000. At an interest rate of 6.125%, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for this loan type is 6.301%, with a 30‑year repayment term consisting of 360 monthly payments, including 359 payments of $2,946.91 and one final payment of approximately $2,946.90, reflecting principal and interest only. If an escrow account is required or elected, the actual monthly payment will be higher and will include amounts for real estate taxes and homeowner’s insurance premiums. This example assumes the loan is for the purchase of a single‑family home used as a primary residence, the borrower has a credit score of 780 or higher, terms shown are based on approved credit, are subject to change, and not all applicants will qualify.
