Quick Facts About Down Payments
You don’t technically have to have a down payment on your mortgage, but if you do have one you’ll be showing lenders that you’re financially prepared to buy a home. It will also increase the size of the home you can afford, or help you buy a home in a better location. The average down payment is between 3% and 5%.
If you can't put down at least 20% of the house you’re buying, you may have to add Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) to the loan. This can add several hundred dollars a month to your mortgage payment, so it’s best to avoid having PMI, if you can. Talk with us about your down payment options, we have a variety of workable solutions.
You can use gift funds such as wedding presents or monetary gifts from family, although special rules often apply. Please let us know if you plan to use any gift money to buy your home.
