1 in 4 home owners said they no longer felt financially secure after they bought their current home, according to a recent survey.
Studying list prices or putting in a lower bid on a house will certainly save you money, but Americans could save even more money by shopping around for a better mortgage rate. Half of home buyers only look at one lender before they apply for a mortgage, personal-finance website NerdWallet found.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that it is necessary to have a 20% down payment to purchase a home, the survey found. In reality, nearly one-third of current home owners put 5% or less down when they bought the home they now live in. A bigger down payment isn’t necessarily a bad thing: It reduces the size of your mortgage, for starters, and can help you get a better rate. But getting a mortgage with a smaller down payment isn’t fool-proof.
