Heh, here in Australia I’d need over $100,000 for a down payment.

Many are 20% here, so really I’d need over $200,000 just to make the initial payment.

You need that here in the USA too, but with an FHA loan, or a first time buyer program on a conventional loan the percentage needed is reduced. Although they hit you with some pretty hefty fees when you take advantage of those programs. The FHA charges an up-front fee, and conventional loans hit you with PMI which equates to hundreds of dollars per month.
