Hi Joseph, Age 21 for $52,500 in 1982 in Manchester, NH and being an FHA loan, I'm going to guess around $2,000 down payment. Good luck with your project.

June, Epcon.

Were those figures the purchase prices or the down payments?

Is it that most on AR are lazy and dont want to answer? 

I was 24 years old in 1995 and we bought it for $68,200. My husband (boyfriend at that time) was inactive duty for the Marines so we used his VA (which, since we weren't married was actually a hybrid of FHA/VA that I don't believe exists now) and we had to put $500 down. Then we spent $2,000 to rip out the bathroom because I wouldn't move in until it was redone!

I was 26, purchased in 1998 for $147,000 and we put 20% down.  Purchased with my husband and we settled in August, got married in October.  Bought it as a fixer upper and put around $40K into it before we moved in.

I closed my first home when I was 19. Purchased in 1999.  Total out of pocket closing costs were only $857!

Joesph,

We bought our first home in1974, we were 24 years old.  We actually bought it with the help of the builder/owner who was developing the land behing the home.  It was a great home.  We paid $37,500. for it.  It was located in Bethel, Connecticut.
