You do not need 20% down to buy your first home
This is the myth that stops the most first-time buyers, and it has not been true for a long time. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans offer zero down for buyers who qualify. Colorado's CHFA program adds down payment assistance for eligible first-time buyers on top of that. The right path depends on your situation, and Prerna will help you compare options before you talk to a lender. Start by testing prices in the mortgage calculator.
What buying your first home actually looks like
The process is more predictable than it feels. You get pre-approved so you know your budget and sellers take you seriously. You tour homes and learn what your money buys in Parker and nearby. You write an offer with the right price and terms, then negotiate. You complete inspections and the appraisal, keep your loan on track, and close, usually 30 to 45 days after your offer is accepted. Prerna keeps each step clear and tells you what is coming next, so nothing catches you off guard. The free buyer guide walks through it in detail.
Why first-time buyers choose Prerna

That is exactly the feedback Prerna's clients leave most often. She never pushes you to move before you are ready, and buyer representation costs you nothing in most Colorado transactions, since the seller typically pays the buyer's agent.

Plan for closing costs of roughly 2% to 5% of the price, and ask about CHFA down payment assistance, which can reduce what you need up front.
What first-time home buyer programs are available in Colorado?
Colorado's CHFA (Colorado Housing and Finance Authority) offers below-market rates and down payment assistance for first-time and moderate-income buyers who meet county income limits. FHA loans help buyers with lower down payments or credit, and VA loans offer zero down for eligible veterans. Prerna helps you figure out which programs you may qualify for.
