Did you know that in 2023, 57% of our clients were able to make a down payment of 5% or less when purchasing their first home? Additionally, 16% of our first-time homebuyers in 2023 closed on a home with a platonic partner (buy homes with friends ❤️)!

Though buying a house has its challenges, getting your first home is doable. The numbers we'll share show that clearly. You've got this!
