You’ve probably heard that you need to save 20% for a down payment when you want to buy a house. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that the reality is that you can purchase a home with a lower down payment. And in some instances, doing so may even be a financially smart move. In fact, the average down payment for first-time homebuyers is 5%. The ongoing climb of home prices is pulling down the typical down payment amounts for first-time buyers. Meanwhile, those same high home values are giving sellers the ability to use cash to make bigger down payments on their new homes—but they’re still only putting down 14% on average.
