Using an early distribution from a 401k (before you are 59 1/2) to make a down payment on a house is not an exception to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. You will owe that penalty plus ordinary income tax on the money you took out of your 401k. You can take money from a traditional IRA without the 10% penalty to purchase a first home but that is not the case for a 401k. If it has not been more than 60 days since you did this you could still pay it back to the 401k. Taking that money from a 401k is an expensive source of money to buy a house.
