The Importance of Down Payment Requirements

September 7, 2015 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

A new study by the New York Federal Reserve states that changes in down payment requirements have considerable more influence over home buyers’ willingness to purchase than changes in interest rates. For example, lowering a down payment from 20 percent to 5 percent, increases the willingness to buy – or ability, in many cases – by as much as 15 percent among buyers and an even greater 40 percent among renters. Conversely, lowering the rates on a 30-year fixed-rate loan increased the willingness to purchase a home by only 5 percent.

On the other hand, lower down payment requirements has little effect among buyers who already have a home with substantial equity or with renters who have substantial savings. In this case, lower interest rates are key, as this is what will save these groups more money.

Our clients say...

“I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years. I have seen both fantastic and just “ok” escrow officers. The Escrow Officer and her team are typically the last stop for a borrower during the purchase or refinance transaction. You want that person and team to be personable, professional and helpful to your client. Kathy and her team at Green Escrow has surpassed my expectations. The team has gone the extra mile to ensure my file closed on time and without incident. I’m looking forward to continued success with Green Escrow.””
