One of the biggest misconceptions in real estate is that you need a 20% down payment to buy a home.

In reality, many buyers purchase homes with much less down, depending on the loan program and their qualifications. Some conventional loans allow as little as 3% down, while VA and USDA loans can offer qualified buyers 0% down options.

That doesn’t mean buying a home is inexpensive, but it does mean homeownership may be more realistic than many people think.

The best first step is usually having a conversation with a trusted lender so you can understand what options may be available for your specific situation.

If you’ve been thinking about buying but assumed you needed 20% down, we’d be happy to connect you with lenders we trust and help point you in the right direction. 📲

📈 Pending sales are up 14.7%
📈 Closed sales are up 6.5%
📈 Median sales price increased to $293,990
📉 Inventory continues to tighten
⏱️ Homes are selling faster, with average days on market dropping to 66
