        <title>Assumable Loans- How Do You Find Them?</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
 


Today's interest rates and housing inventory levels are making national headlines nearly daily, with speculation growing about what it will take to boost home purchases and get buyers off the sidelines. One underutilized strategy in today's market is finding a seller who has an assumable loan.





How do you find an assumable loan opportunity? Many current sellers purchased their homes, or refinanced their homes, when interest rates were below 4, making their homes ideal &quot;assumption&quot; opportunities. If a seller has a VA or FHA loan on their home, their loan balance, and interest rate, is assumable, meaning a new buyer can take it over exactly where is stands today. So where do you start?


Click Here to Search Assumable Loans in Colorado Springs


Work with the MilitaryHomeSearch.com team to find a home that is offering a VA or FHA assumption. If you find a VA assumable loan, and if you have your own VA entitlement, you would use it on your assumption purchase, and agree to release the sellers' VA entitlement so they could use their entitlement on a future home purchase. This doesn't apply to a FHA loan assumption. If you don't have your own VA entitlement, you will have to ask the seller if they are willing to part with theirs in order to have you assume their loan when you purchase the home.


Of note: on an assumption purchase, you are only able to assume the existing loan amount at the existing rate. If the home you want to purchase is listed at $500,000, and the existing loan at a 2.5 interest rate is $400,000, you will need to bring $100,000 to closing in order to purchase the home at the existing 2.5 interest rate.


VA assumptions can also be a tool used by investors to purchase investment properties, but again, the seller would have to agree to part ways with their VA entitlement. Instead of using a lender of your choice on an assumption purchase, you would use the lender who currently holds the existing mortgage on the home. 


If you're looking for a VA or FHA assumable loan near Fort Carson, Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, USAFA, or Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, we have you covered Reach out to our team learn more about these properties, and more

        <title>Should You Buy a Home Now?</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 


We are in the middle of summer, which means real estate sales should be kicking into high gear...except we are seeing a meaningful shift in the market. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering when the right time to buy is, it just may be now. Check out the reasons why:





1. More Room to Negotiate: Right now, there are way more homes on the market than buyers currently looking, which means we are in a long awaited buyer's market. Sellers who truly want to sell are willing to negotiate a fair price, seller concessions, earnest money, potential repairs, contingent sales, and more. Buyers have so many options, and sellers are taking notice


2. More Inventory: New listings continue to increase week after week, while homes aren't selling at the same pace, which means buyers have a lot of homes to look at. Your perfect home is likely out there, and you have plenty of time to schedule a showing


3. More Sellers Wanting to Sell vs Rent: With newer state laws that greatly favor tenants' rights over homeowner rights, many sellers are not willing to rent their property out as a &quot;plan B&quot;. Sellers want to sell





Buyers have more homes than ever to choose from, more negotiating power, and more motivated sellers, which means the next few months could be the perfect time to consider buying a home. If you've been contemplating a home purchase, please reach out We would love to sit down for coffee, or even set up a zoom meeting to dive deeper into the home buying process.
