Down payments are one of the first details I help buyers understand when we begin the journey to a new home, whether you’re relocating to Las Vegas or making a lifestyle move within the valley. In 2025, the median down payment for U.S. homebuyers was 19%. First-time buyers put down about 10%, while repeat buyers averaged 23%. The right amount depends on your goals, your loan type, and your comfort with things like private mortgage insurance (PMI)—which you can avoid at 20% down. There are assistance programs and smart budgeting strategies that can make a big difference, too.
My approach always starts with listening: how do you want to live, and what feels right for your situation? From guard-gated communities in Summerlin to new builds or 55+ neighborhoods, every path to homeownership is unique. If you’re planning your next move, let’s make sure you feel informed, prepared, and confident about the financial steps ahead.
