Could USDA financing fit your home search? Swipe for three things to understand about the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program: location, household income, and the home you plan to live in.

No down payment is required for qualified borrowers, but closing costs, taxes, homeowners insurance, and USDA upfront and annual guarantee fees still apply. Income limits vary by location and household size. Income verification, credit review, repayment ability, property appraisal and program requirements apply. All loans are subject to lender underwriting and approval.

🏡 THINK YOU NEED 20% DOWN TO BUY A HOME? THINK AGAIN! 🚫

One of the biggest mortgage myths keeping potential homebuyers on the sidelines is the belief that you need 20% saved for a down payment.

The truth? You may need a lot less than you think! 👇

🏠 Conventional Loans: As little as 3% down

🏠 FHA Loans: As little as 3.5% down

🇺🇸 VA Loans: 0% down for eligible borrowers

🌾 USDA Loans: 0% down for eligible properties and borrowers

Here's what many buyers don't realize: Putting 20% down isn't necessarily the smartest financial move.

Depending on your situation, keeping more money in savings for emergencies, home improvements, or other financial goals may make more sense.

The key is understanding your options, comparing the numbers, and choosing a mortgage strategy that works for YOU.

Your mortgage. Your choice. Pick Your Rate. 🖤💛

This information is for educational purposes only and is not a commitment to lend or a guarantee of financing. All loan programs are subject to borrower qualification, credit approval, income and asset verification, property eligibility, appraisal requirements, and applicable underwriting guidelines. Minimum down payment requirements vary by loan program. VA and USDA zero-down financing is available only to eligible borrowers and properties; closing costs and other expenses may still apply. Conventional loans with less than 20% down may require private mortgage insurance. FHA loans require mortgage insurance. Loan programs, terms, and eligibility requirements are subject to change without notice. Not all applicants will qualify.

🏡 Housing Market Update | Connecticut • Colorado • Florida

Understanding the housing market helps you make informed decisions about your next move.

🔑 Active listings show how many homes buyers have to choose from.
📝 Pending contracts show buyer activity—but check whether the number represents newly signed contracts or all homes awaiting closing.
🏠 Closed sales show completed transactions during the stated reporting period.

Together, these numbers help buyers understand competition and sellers set realistic expectations for pricing and timing.

📍 Connecticut: How does the market compare with last year?

Comparing August 2026 with August 2025:
• Single-family inventory edged down 0.7%, from 5,779 to 5,737 homes.
• Single-family closed sales fell 6.2%, from 2,798 to 2,625.
• Townhouse/condo inventory increased 20.3%, from 1,466 to 1,764, while closed sales fell 7.2%, from 746 to 692.

Yet median sale prices rose 6.2% for single-family homes and 5.0% for townhouses/condos.

The takeaway? Fewer sales don’t automatically mean lower prices. Connecticut’s trends differ by property type, and your town, budget and goals matter.

Swipe through for the latest reports available as of October 6, 2026. Reporting periods vary by state; the Connecticut year-over-year comparison above uses full-month August data.

The house price hasn’t changed. But has the payment?
When mortgage rates rise, an earlier preapproval may need another look. Higher payments can affect both your budget and the amount you qualify to borrow.
Agents: before submitting an offer, coordinate with the buyer’s mortgage professional to confirm the property-specific payment and updated preapproval.
Buyers: review the total monthly payment, estimated cash to close, and available rate options—not just the purchase price.
Run the numbers before you commit.
