Quick answers

How much money do I need to buy a home?

Usually a down payment plus closing costs. Some loans allow 0% to 3.5% down, and Down Payment Grants can cover part of it. Closing costs are commonly 2% to 5% of the price. Estimate your cash to close.

Can I buy a new home before I sell mine?

Often, yes: by using equity from your current home, a bridge option, or by qualifying with both payments for a short time. We can compare the options for your situation.

What is Extra Credit (a HELOC)?

A home equity line of credit lets you borrow against your home's value as needed, often for improvements or to pay off higher-rate debt. See how much you could save.
