House Hunt: Time May be Running out for Low Down Payments
It is the prime time to purchase your dream home!
There is discussion in Congress to increase the minimum downpayment for home purchases to 20 percent across the board. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has been lobbying against the proposal. While it may not become 20 percent, indicators are that the 3.5 percent downpayment associated with a FHA backed loan is possibly going away.
