Clarksburg MD | 69% of Buyers are Wrong About Down Payment Needs

Clarksburg MD Local Market Tidbits:

What can you say about our local Real Estate Market for this year? 

I like to analyze it with a depth study and perspective to bring you the facts and insights that should matter to you.

If you are a buyer, you should proceed with caution in choosing existing homes vs new construction.

If you are a seller, you have major competition with new construction in the area and it is very important that your marketing should primarily highlight the benefits from your home's perspective.

Today I want to talk to you about 69% of Buyers are Wrong About Down Payment Needs

According to a recent survey conducted by Genworth Financial Inc. at the Annual Mortgage Bankers’ Association Secondary Market Conference, 69% of mortgage professionals say that first-time buyers still believe a 20% down payment is necessary to buy in today’s market.
