Hello. I am looking to sale my current house and downsize. According to equifax my score is 582. To buy a smaller house how much (percentage ) would I need to put down? thanks .

582 is an extremely low score I think most lenders start around 620. I would be pretty apprehensive to sell your home without getting a fully underwritten approval from a lender who will accept that credit score.

Aggressive lenders can do FHA loans down to 580, and the larger the down payment the better chance the approval algorithm says yes. That said, if you see a consumer score model at 580 you probably have a 550ish mortgage score from the same bureau.
