Why Assumable Mortgages

Matter Right Now

Home affordability is at an all-time low, but assumable mortgages are the cheat code buyers in the know are using to WIN in this market.

 

✅  Take over an existing home loan with a 2–5% interest rate
✅  Lower monthly payment = more house for your money
✅  Skip bank fees and reduce closing costs
✅  Avoid competition from buyers stuck with 7%+ loans

 

📉  Assumable = Approved by the bank.
🚫  Subject-To = Not always bank-approved (gray area).
