How Much You Need to Save Each Day to Buy a Home in 15 Top Cities

For homebuyers—especially first-time ones—what looms larger and scarier than the prospect of pulling together enough cash for a down payment? A late-stage IRS audit, maybe? A bracing swim in gulper eel–infested waters?

All wrong! The answer is nothing. For more and more Americans, the down payment has become the Everest-size mountain they need to climb to reach their dreams of homeownership—or perhaps freeze to death trying. In these days of rising home prices, it seems harder than ever to pull together that mammoth mound of moolah needed to get yourself into a new place. It can lead to desperation. Will you need to resign yourself to a lifetime of living with your parents, renting cramped apartments, or settling for the boondocks of Alaska (where you might be able to afford your own cabin minus running water)?

Actually, there is something else you can do: Whip out a calculator and start budgeting. That big lump sum you’re stressing over is a lot less intimidating when you break it down into daily payments.
