Do you have enough money saved for a down payment?

One of the biggest misconceptions for home buyers is how much you’ll need to save for a down payment. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t always have to put 20 percent down to buy a house.

A recent survey by Point2Homes notes that 88 percent of buyers say “they have significantly less savings than the average national down payment amount, which is $62,600.”

Thankfully, neither 20 percent, nor $62,600., is not the amount every buyer needs for a down payment. There are many different options available. That amount can also be significantly less, depending on the purchase price of the house.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), “The median existing-home price for all housing types in August was $310,600.” (These are the latest numbers available). NAR also indicates that:

“In 2019, the median down payment was 12 percent for all buyers, six percent for first-time buyers, and 16 percent for repeat buyers.”Continue Reading
