The Market Is Opening Up a Bit for First-Time Buyers

As more homes hit the market, more first-timers are finding their way in. So don’t give up. Let’s connect to see if buying is possible for you too.

Today’s buyers are putting less money down. And that’s reassuring if you’ve been feeling priced out of the market lately.
The typical buyer put down about $23,400 in early 2026 – that's a 19% year-over-year dip, and the lowest down payments have been since 2021. How’s that possible?
A more balanced market and more moderate home prices are easing the pressure to put a big sum down. Plus, more buyers are opting for loans that require little or no down payments, like FHA and VA loans.
That combination is helping more people stop waiting and start buying.
So, if saving’s been the holdup, it’s time to explore your options.
