Online searches for down payment information recently hit an all-time high. That shows a lot of buyers aren’t sure what’s actually required, and they’re looking for answers.

Unfortunately, many still think they have to put 20% down.

But the data says something very different is happening.

The typical first-time buyer actually puts down about 10% – that’s half of what you probably expected. And some do as little as 3.5% or even 0% down (depending on their loan type).

So, that 20% myth is only holding you back and delaying your timeline more than necessary.

If you’re curious about what’s really required, it’s worth having a conversation with a trusted lender. A true expert can give you better information than an online search.

Then let's chat about what your budget can get you in today’s market.

🎵 Tuesday in the Triangle: Where Music Meets Home 🎵

As we celebrate National Homeownership Month, I’ve been thinking about how every home has its own soundtrack.

It’s the piano practice drifting down the hallway, the dance recitals in the living room, the songs sung around the kitchen table, and the memories created through music that truly make a house feel like home.

That’s why for this week’s Tuesday in the Triangle, I’m excited to feature Amie's Academy of Piano and Brass of Apex—a place where students of all ages develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.

Whether your child is taking their first lesson or you’re looking to reignite your own musical passion, local businesses like Amie’s Academy help enrich our communities and create opportunities for families to grow together.

🏡 A home is more than four walls—it’s where talents are discovered, dreams are nurtured, and life’s soundtrack is written one note at a time.
