You may not need as much as you think. Many loan programs allow qualified buyers to purchase with a down payment as low as 3% or 3.5%, and some qualified veterans and buyers in eligible areas may purchase with no down payment at all. Your exact total also depends on closing costs and the price of the home you choose, so we start with a conversation with an experienced lender.
