Median Down Payments
Did You Know: Today’s Median Down Payment Is Less Than 20% for most home buyer age groups and the average overall. Saving for a down payment and concerns around how much is enough can feel like one of the biggest obstacles for homebuyers – but it doesn’t have to be that way! This graph looks at the median down payment for recent home buyers, broken down by age group – and it’s much lower than you’d expect.
Investing in Real Estate
In an annual Gallup poll, Americans chose real estate as the best long-term investment for 2021. What’s more, real estate has been on a winning streak, consistently gaining traction as the best investment for eight years in a row.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a home, this poll should reassure you. Historically, real estate remains a strong investment, even during inflation. When you lock in a mortgage payment, you’re shielded from rising rental costs and mortgage rate increases – plus, you own an asset that typically gains value with time.
