ParticipantI have a comment. We’re in the Bay Area. Our landlord is a Realtor, and she’s married to one of Silicon Valley’s biggest Realtors. Their company also has a mortgage brokerage office.
They told us that now only two or three lenders will do even 15% down. All others are requiring MORE down payment, and nobody is allowing 10% down payment.
And yes this is for people like us with perfect credit scores. This was a clue to us how much credit markets have tightened up.

ParticipantWhile it is getting harder to secure a loan, and it may be different in the bay area, I don’t buy only 2 or 3 lenders doing loans for at least 15% down. I just bought a home in southern california in the end of August, 2 of the 3 banks were allowing less than 15% down (but greater than 10%) and the other, Countrywide, was requiring 15% down.
