kylesac1 | What is the standard $ amount to put down as down payment for a $400,000 home purchase? |
|

80,000. usually the standard is 20%
You can apply for different types of loans that do not require as much down, but you usually will pay a much higher interest rate. |
|
zzzzzsssseee443
|
standard = 20% so $80,000
reduced = 10% so $40,000 |
|

anywhere from 3-20% depending on how the mortgage is to be financed. If you can put down 20% or more you can avoid having to pay PMI insurance. |
|

There is no standard amount any more. You put down as much as you like depending on what type of loan you qualify for. Go get a lender. |

If you can put 20% down, you don't have to pay PMI. |

The "standard" amount of a downpayment on a $400,000.00 house is 20% which is $80,000.00.
Very few people put down 20% anymore due to the higher prices of housing stock these days.
As a guideline - you should put down enough so you can afford the monthly mortgage payment of principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.
Also - houses have a lot of surprising expenses related to upkeep and maintenance.
1.) Painting the house
2.) fixing things that break
3.) buying equipment like lawnmowers, snowblowers, rakes, wheelbarrows, etc etc etc.
So make sure you can really afford the house - no matter how much you out down. |

You can put down no money or 5, 10, 15, 20%.....
It really depends on what you can afford? Paying full principle & interest with property taxes and homeowners insurance.
Do you want 30 year, 40 year, 50 year mortgage.... you have a wealth of options.
Contact and industry professional to assist you with making that decision (and to make sure you qualify!) |

answers are all over the spectrum.best to contact your bank or mortgage company. |

With good credit, the standard (common) is 0% down
You can get the best interest rates with a 20% down and avoid paying mortgage insurance
It is a complicated equation with major factors such as income, credit history, debt to income ratio, and many more factors |

Agree, more important question...can you afford a 400,000 dollar home? And I am talking a loan with sensible terms: 15 or 30 year fixed. Not no toxic 1 year interest only option ARM. Too many people making 40k buying 400k houses in the last 5 years resulted in tons of foreclosure happening now in California. To avoid PMI you need to put down the 20%. |

I think it's 10% which would make it $40,000 |

Not sure but on Our Home $108,000.00 we had to put down $6000.00 Good Luck |
|

i believe it's usually 1% |
|
Ken

5% is usually a good minimum...so $20,000 |
