Make sure you have at least 15,000 USD in your bank account cause closing costs can make a home that is otherwise 100% financed to being unaffordable.

Western Mass btw. I imagine it's a little more in Eastern MA and that includes first time home buyers putting 2-3% down and rolling that percentage into your mortgage.

You can 100% finance a home? What about a down payment? Is that from a loan?

You can essentially 100% finance a home... Well more like,you pay 3% down payment and roll that into your mortgage so the bank gives you a little extra to cover it. In that case, though, you will still need around 15k in the bank to pay for all the closing costs.

That seems high for closing costs. My closing costs were less than a third of that and my down payment was more than 15k. We put about 9% down only too.
