Conventional financing in Delta works within Delta County's 2026 conforming limit of $832,750. For first-time buyers, Fannie Mae's HomeReady and Freddie Mac's Home Possible programs allow 3% down ($11,000 on Delta's $365,000 median). Repeat buyers can put 5% down ($18,200), and PMI drops off automatically once you reach 20% equity — no refinance required.
With 20% down ($73,000), conventional financing carries no PMI and typically offers the lowest available rate for a Delta purchase. At 10% down, PMI runs approximately $160/month and is eliminated when your loan balance drops below 80% of the original purchase price. At 5% down, PMI is approximately $260/month.
