MORTGAGE DOWN PAYMENT. HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?

Wondering how much to save?


The amount you need for a down payment on your new home may not be as much as you think!

Programs are available with some pretty low options.

ZERO
The VA and the USDA both offer a zero down loan program for individuals and/or properties that meet their criteria. Sometimes, loans require little or no cash out of pocket. Some HUD properties are available with as little as $100 down. 

3%
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac conventional loans are available with down payments as low as 3% on single-family homes, including eligible condos, co-ops, and some manufactured homes. Fixed-rate mortgages with up to 30-year terms and ARMs are available.

3.5%
The Federal Housing Administration (or FHA) loan program can allow as little as 3.5% down, and it is more lenient than most other programs on minimum credit scores and other factors. 

Are you surprised at how low you may be able to go? While many believe a 20% down payment is required, you can see now that it’s far from the only option. 

Whether you’ve saved a little or a lot, reach out today, and we’ll work on finding a loan that works for you.
