20% and had a decent amount in savings afterwards.

20% plus all of the closing costs!! Ugh, I did not have much leftover but I would not be surprised if my DH has money stuffed in a mattress somewhere. Chat Icon

First house- 10%

Second house- almost 60%... we wanted to have a nice reasonable mortgage payment

Both times we had a large emergency fund left over plus other investments. I was too nervous to put every dollar we had available into the down payment.

We put down 10% and were left with about 3 months of expenses in the bank afterward.
