Down payment from 3%–20%+
Conventional loans allow down payments as low as 3% for first-time or move-up buyers with strong credit. PMI options and blended structures available.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Most Apex home sales in 27502 range from $350,000 to $700,000, well within the conventional loan limit of $806,500. Larger homes in the northwest sections of Apex may approach or exceed the conforming limit, in which case Jeff can transition to a jumbo product within the same transaction.
Apex consistently ranks as one of Wake County's more competitive markets due to its quality-of-life reputation, school system, and proximity to RTP. Jeff's in-house pre-approval authority helps buyers compete more effectively — sellers and their agents recognize the difference between a pre-approval with committee approval required versus one with Branch Manager sign-off in place.
Yes. Conventional 3% down programs are available for first-time buyers in Apex. PMI is required until you reach 20% equity, but PMI can be removed when the loan-to-value drops below 80% — unlike FHA, which carries lifetime mortgage insurance in most cases. Jeff explains the long-term cost difference between conventional and FHA for every first-time buyer consultation.
Jeff typically issues pre-approvals within 24–48 business hours of a complete application — including income and asset documentation. For buyers in active search mode in Apex, he recommends completing the full application before making an offer rather than relying on a preliminary pre-qualification.
