Exactly right. It’s not required. The style of writing is making it sound that way though.
The article’s headline says, “Cities Where You Will
Need the Biggest Down Payment to Snag a Home.”
The article is a classic example of writing based on a keyword search or an algorithm by someone with no first-hand knowledge, but with space to fill. The word ‘need’ is misleading. More cash buyers and big down payments? Yes. But the reasons are unique to TV and topping the list skews the other rankings.
Word choice matters, real information does too — but nobody much seems to care anymore.
