Buying your first home in Wyoming? 🏡 FHA loans now make up about 35% of new-home purchase applications, a three-month high, as affordability challenges have buyers comparing their options.
Here’s the plain-English difference:
🔑 FHA: Eligible buyers may put as little as 3.5% down. Credit requirements can be more flexible, but FHA loans generally include upfront and ongoing mortgage insurance.
🔑 Conventional: Some eligible buyers may put as little as 3% down. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is generally required with less than 20% down and may be removable as you build equity.
Loan limits vary by county for both options, and eligibility depends on your situation. Compare the full monthly payment and costs with a mortgage professional before deciding.
