The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is now above 7%, which has tacked on an extra $1,000 in monthly mortgage payments for the median US home.

The 1% Down Payment program from Zillow Home Loans is designed to reduce the time needed for consumers to save money for a down payment. For now, it's only offered to eligible borrowers in Arizona, though the company intends to expand the program to other states.

By comparison, a similar homebuyer saving for a 3% down payment would require 31 months to reach their savings goal.
