Dirk Hanlon: by one investor's math, the home deposit is up $37,000 in ten years. Gus: easy, skip the deposit. Dot: Father, the deposit comes first; by his math, at twenty percent down, that's $37,000 more than before, and the median price ($417,500) has risen 39 months running. Skip: so who's buying? Dot: first-timers 31%, cash buyers 27%. Gus: cash, we have a jar. Lorraine: it's the coin jar.
Before the monthly payment there is the deposit: by one investor's arithmetic, 20% down on the median home is $37,000 more than ten years ago, and the median price, $417,500 in September, has risen for 39 months straight; first-time buyers were 31% of September's sales, cash buyers 27%, and investors and second-home buyers 20%.
