Down Payments - know how to save for a down payment..................

seattle down paymentSeattle buyers are finding less and less in the way of loan programs where they don't need a nice down payment.  The simple fact is that 100% loans are for the most par tin the past - this is good news, really.  Saving for a down payment is responsible behavior and although I admit to getting a few 100% loans myself in the past, I would put money down in today's market.  A down payment is the door to a strong loan and a smooth closing whether you are buying Seattle real estate or Seattle suburb real estate.  Recent buyers I have worked with who had bigger down payments had easier times when it came to closing.  The mortgage companies also will require less in the way of conditions in many cases.

Hmmm, actually having money to put down toward a home.  Interesting.  I guess in this crazy world of real estate anything is possible.  What next, having a decent credit score?

You have an excellent point. Having money to put down on a home allows you to have a fuller sense of ownership and this will help reduce the number of foreclosures thus helping the economy etc.

Pride of ownership. Now that is something everyone can use.

Best,
