Down Payment

By in

A down payment on a house is a sum of money that the buyer pays upfront in a real estate transaction. The down payment is the amount of cash paid upfront by the buyer at the time of closing.

Premium conventional home loans require a 20% down payment. Some conforming loans will also accept a 5% down payment, and FHA loans will accept a 3.5% down payment.
