Down Payments

How much do you really need to put down on a home?

Despite conventional wisdom, a 20% down payment really isn't required to buy a home. Find out how much you actually need to save.

If homeownership is your goal, it's never too soon to start saving, and no contribution to your down payment fund is too small.

Relatively few home buyers qualify for zero down payment home loans, but it's worth learning whether you're one of them.

Mortgages that require less than the traditional 20% down payment make homeownership possible for many Americans.
