Discover What’s Possible and Start Shopping for that New Home
A housing market seemingly steeped with more obstacles than opportunity simply requires a change of approach to create affordability. If you’re serious about a first or next home and are waiting for the “right” time, this is your moment.
Looking for a mortgage rate that starts with a 5%? We’re here to make that your reality today, no waiting.
Let us Help Make it Affordable
We’re throwing in to reduce your first year costs, buying your rate down 1% for year one. The resulting below-market rate can net you thousands in savings over that first year.
Example:
Loan Amount $450,000
Year one Rate 5.500% (APR 5.85%)
Year 2-30 Rate 6.500% (APR 6.89%)
(Assumes the borrower qualified for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.50%)
How it Works
A 1/0 buydown reduces the first-year rate. In the example above, the drop from 6.50% to 5.50% results in a buyer savings of approximately $4,500.00 in interest AND provides a lower monthly payment for that first 12 months of home ownership.
This is a limited time offer available on new contracts/locks through November 30,2025. Not available on select programs including HECM programs.
