How much money do I need to buy a home in Missouri?
Many buyers are surprised they may not need 20% down. Depending on the loan type, some buyers can purchase with as little as 3–5% down plus closing costs.
Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?
Yes. A pre-approval helps determine your budget, strengthens your offer, and allows you to move quickly in competitive markets.

Focus on decluttering, deep cleaning, improving curb appeal, and addressing small repairs. Simple updates like paint and lighting can often make a big impact.
