Assumable Mortgages

An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a buyer to take over the seller’s existing mortgage, including its interest rate, remaining balance, and repayment terms. Instead of obtaining a new mortgage, the buyer assumes responsibility for the current loan.

​

This type of mortgage can be beneficial if the existing loan has a lower interest rate than current market rates, allowing the buyer to save money on monthly payments. However, the buyer must still qualify with the lender and may need to pay the difference between the home’s purchase price and the remaining mortgage balance.

​

Assumable mortgages are commonly associated with certain government-backed loan programs, and lender approval is typically required before the transfer can take place.
