Two moves could get you into your first home sooner than you think
If homeownership feels out of reach, you may not need to wait as long as you thought. Two strategies can help shorten the timeline:
Choose a starter home. Buying a smaller, more affordable first home can help you get into the market sooner and start building equity.
Put less than 20% down. Many first-time buyers don’t put 20% down. In fact, the median down payment for first-time buyers is just 10%.
Sometimes, getting into your first home isn’t about waiting longer, it’s about adjusting the game plan. 💚🤘
