Arizona Insight
In many parts of Arizona, especially Metro Phoenix—Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Chandler, and Gilbert—home values have appreciated significantly over the past few years. That means many homeowners now have more equity than they realize. That equity could be working for them.

FHA vs. Conventional: Which Is Better for You?
Sometimes buyers assume FHA is the only low-down-payment option. In reality, conventional loans can require as little as 3% down for qualified buyers and may save you money long-term if you have good credit.
| Feature | FHA Loan | Conventional Loan |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Down Payment | 3.5% | 3% (for qualified buyers) |
| Credit Score Flexibility | More lenient | Stricter |
| Mortgage Insurance | Required for the life of the loan | Can be removed at 20% equity |
| Property Standards | Must meet FHA guidelines | More flexibility |
| Ideal For | Buyers with lower credit or limited savings | Buyers with stronger credit who want to avoid long-term mortgage insurance |
Arizona Tip:
In today’s competitive market, sellers may offer concessions that can be applied toward closing costs or a rate buydown. In some cases, they can even be applied toward your down payment. This flexibility can help make either FHA or conventional loans more affordable.
