BEFORE YOUR NEXT PRICE REDUCTION, HAVE YOU CHECKED THE MORTGAGE? 🏠

A low existing FHA or VA rate doesn't replace pricing strategy—but when a qualified buyer can assume it, that financing detail may deserve a place in the listing story.

A useful first step is to examine the actual mortgage note, remaining balance, buyer cash gap and servicer process. That tells us whether there's a genuine advantage worth mentioning.

Would you like a seller mortgage/assumability check before evaluating your options? https://assume.realtyathletica.com/

Don't just market your home, market the mortgage attached to it.

Not every mortgage can be assumed; buyers must qualify and servicers approve. This is not a promise of a better sale price.

LAKEWOOD: A LOWER PRICE AND A POTENTIAL 2.8% VA ASSUMPTION. 🍂

3355 S Flower Street #90 | $230,000 | 2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 944 sq ft | end-unit townhome with attached garage.

Current public listing remarks mention a *potentially* assumable VA loan at about 2.8%, **restricted to qualified VA-eligible buyers**, subject to lender approval. The listing also reports monthly HOA dues of $435. A low note rate does not eliminate the HOA or other housing costs.

VA-eligible buyer wondering what the complete payment and actual cash-to-close might look like? Ask for the property-specific worksheet: https://assume.realtyathletica.com/

Loan availability, balance, rate and eligibility require lender/servicer verification. This advertisement is not approval and does not imply a non-VA buyer qualifies.

SELLERS: YOUR MORTGAGE COULD BE ONE MORE FEATURE TO MARKET.

A low existing FHA or VA rate may give certain buyers another financing path—if the loan is eligible for assumption. The rate alone isn't enough: the buyer must understand the payoff balance, cash needed to cover seller equity, full monthly payment and approval process.

Would a simple mortgage-feature check be useful before deciding on your home's marketing strategy?

Don't just market your home, market the mortgage attached to it.

No guaranteed savings, transfer or approval. Loan/servicer requirements, buyer eligibility and VA entitlement implications vary.

ARVADA TOWNHOME: WHAT DOES AN ASSUMABLE LOAN REALLY SAVE YOU? 🏡

15296 W 66th Drive | $510,000 | 3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 1,798 sq ft | two-car garage.

The listing brokerage confirms an assumable loan is available for inquiry. A third-party assumable marketplace models an FHA loan near 2.90%; the *rate and balance have not been confirmed by the listing agent or servicer*. That distinction matters.

Want me to work through a property-specific cash-needed worksheet, including HOA and what remains to confirm?
Start here: https://assume.realtyathletica.com/

Listed by Allison Cassieri | North Metro Realty LLC | MLS IR1065107.
Brokerage property page: https://northmetrorealty.com/properties/15296-w-66th-drive-arvada-co-us-80007-49cb26525f2c8f0ade0ddf25a91a7f41
Jon Marquez | REALTOR® | Compass

2.90% is a third-party model, not a lender offer. Balance, payment, eligibility, loan type, HOA, availability and assumption approval require confirmation.

A BUILDER BUYDOWN IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY AN ASSUMABLE MORTGAGE.

If you purchased a newer home with a special mortgage rate, the details matter: Is it the permanent note rate? Or a temporary incentive that expires after a year or two? Can the loan itself be assumed by the next qualified buyer?

Sellers: before promising a future buyer your rate, let's look at the actual loan type and documents. Which would you want checked first: your note rate or assumability?

Don't just market your home, market the mortgage attached to it.

Programs differ; not all mortgages transfer, and qualification/servicer approval is required.
