Just got a promotion and I hit my original goal of 30k for a down payment about 9 months early (thanks bonuses). But I'm wondering how much should i actually save if I want to be a first time homeowner. I live in a HCOL area so probably won't be in the same place since the prices seem absurd but say houses in Connecticut or Vermont or Texas or something like that, how much would I be looking to save for a first time purchase?

I put 0 down and I used that money to invest and keep as a safety net. I've made more back than if I shelled it out up front.
