Home ownership is still a dream is America but with large down payments coming out of pocket home ownership is staying a dream rather than a reality for potential buyers in the US.
Borrowers tend to need to put down 20%. On a 250,000 mortgage, that amounts to $50,000. Once closing costs are added to the mix, buyers can be facing paying around $70,000 out of pocket.
For most people this asking a lot. However, first-time buyers and those who haven’t purchased a home in three years can find down-payment assistance through government and non-profit agencies scattered across the country.
