How much money do I need to buy a home?
How much money you need to buy a home depends on the amount of your down payment and closing costs.
Down payment: A down payment is a percentage of the purchase price of a home that you pay upfront. How much you need for the down payment depends on several factors, mainly the property type, loan program, and whether you'll live there or rent it out.
Closing costs: Closing costs are loan costs and other costs associated with purchasing a home. Loan costs are lender and third-party fees for underwriting, a property appraisal, and title work. Other costs are taxes, government fees, and prepaid items.
Closing costs can add up to several thousand dollars and vary depending on several factors, most importantly, the location of the property and the lender you choose for the mortgage.
Before shopping for a home, getting pre-approved for a mortgage is a good idea. This will give you an idea of how much you can afford to borrow and help you narrow your search for homes within your budget.
