Questions buyers and sellers ask us most

How much do I need for a down payment in Puerto Rico?

For conventional loans, 20% down on the Puerto Rico median of $390,384 would be $78,077. Most Puerto Rico buyers close with 3-5% down via conventional, FHA (3.5% down), or VA (0% for eligible service members). Check with a local lender.

What is the best time of year to buy a home in Puerto Rico?

Late summer through early fall is historically the most favorable buyer window across most US markets, and Puerto Rico follows this pattern. Spring has the most inventory but the most competition. Winter has the least of both.

Can I buy a home in Puerto Rico without seeing it in person?

Yes. A local REALTOR® running video walkthroughs, paired with a thorough inspection contingency, makes a remote purchase manageable. Most Puerto Rico agents are comfortable with this workflow.

How long does it take to close on a home in Puerto Rico?

30-45 days is typical for a financed purchase, and 14-21 days is achievable for cash. The bottleneck is usually appraisal and lender underwriting, not title work.
