Conventional Financing
20% Down: A Common Benchmark
A 20% down payment generally eliminates monthly private mortgage insurance. Qualified buyers may also have conventional options requiring considerably less down. Loan limits and qualification requirements still apply.
FHA Financing
As Little as 3.5% Down
Eligible borrowers may qualify with a down payment as low as 3.5%. FHA loans generally include upfront and annual mortgage insurance, and borrower and property requirements apply.
VA Financing
0% Down May Be Available
Eligible veterans, active-duty service members and certain surviving spouses may qualify with no down payment and no monthly private mortgage insurance. A VA funding fee and other requirements may apply.
PRACTICAL 55+ HOME TIP
Make the Move Smaller Before Moving Day
Before collecting boxes or calling movers, walk through the home one room at a time and divide belongings into three simple groups. Making these decisions early can reduce moving costs, prevent rushed choices and make the new home easier to organize.
Moving with me — Items that have a definite place in the next home.
Family, donate or sell — Useful belongings that no longer need to make the move.
Decide later — A limited group of items that need more thought, with a date for making the final decision.
Craig’s quick tip: Keep medications, credit cards/cash, identification, keys, closing documents, chargers and first-night necessities with you—not on the moving truck.
