It's a great time for home buyers as never in history has both interest rates
and home prices been this low at the same time! If you're a first
time buyer and have at least a 620 credit score, you may qualify for a VHDA zero
down home loan program and be able to purchase a home with as little as $500
down. Or, if you're a buyer who has saved 3.5% for your down payment, you may
qualify for a conventional mortgage with rates as low as 3.25%.
If
you're thinking about purchasing a home anytime within the next year, you should
contact a loan officer and begin discussing the various home loan programs
available. There are many different loan options available to you, and those options
depend on whether you need closing cost assistance or not. Buyers who
have money for their down payment will receive the
lowest interest rate possible, and buyers who need down payment assistance can still receive an interest rate at around
3.25%.
The FHA or VA 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage is a safe loan program that allows buyers to purchase
their dream home while still keeping a low monthly mortgage payment. Buyers who
qualify to buy a $180,000 home can actually purchase a $230,000 home, and
the monthly mortgage payment remains the same!
No two buyers have the same credit profile, and credit scores and monthly debt
both affect the type of financing you receive. So to see how much home you
qualify for, please contact any of my preferred
lenders for your free credit check and loan approval. There's never a cost
or obligation, so contact a loan officer today and begin previewing homes
