Your mortgage size depends on the home\u2019s price and the down payment you\u2019re making. If you buy a home priced at $255,000, for example, and put down a 20% down payment ($55,000), you\u2019ll need a mortgage worth $200,000.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll then pay off that balance monthly for the rest of your loan term \u2014 which can be 30 years for many homebuyers.<\/p>\n
Before you start shopping around, though, you’ll want to get pre-approved. Getting pre-approved will let you know if you can afford a $200,000 mortgage and demonstrate to sellers that you’re a serious buyer.<\/p>\n
