You Don't Need to Save 20% for a Down Payment! Find your way HOME in 2017. http://www.kimsextonhomes.com

How much do you have to put down on a house as a first time buyer? The average amount is 3% to 6% of the price of the home. Given that range, it's a wise idea to start with 2%-2.5% of the total cost of the house, in savings, to account for closing costs. Thus our $300,000 first-time home buyer should sock away about $6,000-$7,500 to cover the back end of their buying experience.

Looking to purchase your first home? The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) down payment programs just got better! They have lowered the simple interest rate to 2.5% on the MyHome Assistance and Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase (ECTP) junior loans. Dream BIG and contact me to start your home search now! I look forward to working for you. - Kim http://www.kimsextonhomes.com/
