Use Your Tax Refund to Move Closer to Homeownership

Did you know nearly half of Americans don’t have a clear plan for their tax refunds each year? That means a lot of people end up spending that money on things that don’t really help them build long-term financial security. If you’re eager to buy a home, your refund could be a huge help, giving you a jumpstart on your down payment, closing costs, or even helping you get a lower mortgage rate.

Here’s how you can use that extra cash to make owning a home more affordable:

• Add to Your Down Payment – Having to put 20% down on a house is a myth! The typical first-time homebuyer in the United States puts down around 6% of the purchase price, any extra funds you put down can help you build equity faster.

• Help with Closing Costs – Covering appraisal fees, title insurance, and other upfront expenses with your refund can make closing day a lot less stressful.

• Buy Down Your Mortgage Rate – Paying some costs upfront might help lower your monthly mortgage payment—perfect if you’re looking for ways to free up some room in your budget.

Now that you know how your tax refund could help you purchase a home, how do you plan to use yours?
