How Much Down Do You REALLY Need To Buy A Home?

How Much Down Do You REALLY Need To Buy A Home?

 

In this video, I talk about how much money down you really need to buy a home. I'll go over several different financing options such as conventional financing, FHA financing, and down payment assistance programs and some of the pros and cons of each. I'll also discuss mortgage insurance and why it's not so bad after all.

Loan limits do exist for both conventional and FHA financing options, but they have consistently gone up year after year and allow most buyers many options for types of properties they can buy before having to qualify for jumbo and other loan types that typically require larger down payments.

Home Prices Start To Cool Off - Nov. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

Home Prices Start To Cool Off - Nov. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

The housing market begins to cool off. Zillow may be the canary in the coal mine with new data showing they're upside down on a large percentage of the homes they've been buying recently and shutting down all home purchases for the rest of 2021. For Los Angeles & the South Bay, inventory remains extremely low, while median home prices continue to retreat downwards from earlier highs. Should the Fed actually taper asset purchases in a meaningful way or should interest rates rise, all bets will likely be off for the housing market in 2022. Find out what's happening with home prices, inventory, and the number of sales making it to the closing table for Los Angeles County and the South Bay Beach Cities.

Home Prices Taper & Inventory Stays Low - Oct. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

Home Prices Taper & Inventory Stays Low - Oct. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

In this video, real estate broker Michael Weber talks about what's happening in the Los Angeles and South Bay Beach Cities real estate markets for the beginning of October 2021.

Lots of things are changing in the real estate market. With the passage of SB-9 & SB-10, this should stimulate some much needed future inventory and housing supply. The government continues to find new ways to prop up the housing market. Although the federal eviction moratorium ended, cities and counties are quickly replacing it with their own versions. Large public companies are buying up the housing inventory with a vengeance. And home prices continue to taper while inventory remains historically low. All this and more in this market update.

Home Prices Start To Taper? - Sept. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

Home Prices Start To Taper? - Sept. 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

In this video, real estate broker Michael Weber talks about what's happening in the Los Angeles and South Bay Beach Cities real estate markets for the beginning of September 2021.

Although median home prices continued to remain relatively strong in the month of August, we did start seeing some noticeable tapering in prices in certain areas within the county. Additionally, this is in the face of extremely low housing inventory. It seems the stimulation from continued low interest rates and Fed bond buying has started to wane. I would imagine new ways to stimulate prices will be showing up soon. However, should the Federal Reserve actually raise rates or truly start tapering their bond buying programs, this may prove too much for the housing market to bear.

Is The Housing Market Starting To Shift? - August 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

Is The Housing Market Starting To Shift? - August 2021 Housing Market Update Los Angeles & South Bay

In this video, real estate broker Michael Weber talks about what's happening in the Los Angeles and South Bay Beach Cities real estate markets for the beginning of August 2021.

After some time of everything being the same, we may be starting to see something just a little bit different. In some markets in the US, sales of new and existing homes may be showing some initial signs of cooling off, even while the government continues to support the market and with rates continuing to stay historically low. Los Angeles County and the South Bay charts still look very strong overall, but for the month of July we saw a reversal in y/o/y median home prices after several months of sustained growth.
