If the Down Payment Is Holding You Back, You're Not Alone
The typical household now needs approximately seven years to save for a down payment.
The typical down payment reached $30,400 in 2025 — more than double its 2019 level.
Nearly one-third of first-time buyers said saving for the down payment was the most difficult part of buying.
