“Easing demand and increasing inventory gave buyers more flexibility last quarter, which led to slightly lower down payments,” Jones stated. “The recent drop in mortgage rates could pave the way for more competition in the coming months, especially if rates fall further, but we haven’t yet seen that reflected in home sales or down payment trends.”

Down funds as a share of buy worth declined in 24 states within the third quarter, with the District of Columbia (-3.80 share factors), Florida (-1.70 pp), Idaho (-1.10 pp), Alaska (-1.10 pp), and Montana (-1.10 pp) main the way in which in annual declines.
