Do You Need 20% Down To Purchase a Home?

Here’s what you need to know about down payments in our current market.

Do you need 20% down to purchase a home? There are certainly many benefits to putting 20% down, but it might not be necessary depending on your situation. Our housing market has been white-hot over the last few years; if a big down payment is keeping you from taking advantage, it could be time to consider other options. Today I want to cover both the benefits of putting 20% down and when it’s time to consider a lower down payment.
