Tucked away in the tree-lined neighborhood of Windcrest, this vibrant Holly Springs setting makes an impression before you even reach the front door. Afternoons by the pool, weekends at the playground, a genuine sense of community connection. And once you're out and about, it's no exaggeration...FIVE minutes gets you to everything: districted schools, downtown Holly Springs, Devil's Ridge Golf Club, Holly Springs Towne Center, plus seamless access to Highway 540 and the rest of the Triangle. And then you walk in...and realize it gets even better. There's an immediate sense this home has been elevated. The big ticket items have already been handled...roof, HVACs, water heater, so you're not inheriting a ''we'll need to do that right away'' list. Updated flooring and a wall of windows draw you into the heart of the home. Here a striking kitchen features two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops & fresh stainless appliances. Opening seamlessly to the breakfast area and family room, the layout offers easy sightlines and keeps everyone connected. Upstairs, you'll continue to be impressed with spacious bedrooms and a versatile bonus...playroom, movie lounge, exercise space? And out back, a flat, grassy, fenced yard extends the living space just in time to enjoy as we head into summer. Thoughtful improvements continue throughout with refreshed bathrooms, modern lighting and cohesive finishes that tie the home together without a single project left to tackle. It's rare to find something where the setting, the updates and the layout align this well. Welcome home!
Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.
Roam has compiled available listings with low-rate assumable mortgages for you to browse. To get started, enter the city, state, zip code, or school district you’re interested in purchasing in.

Once you’ve found your dream home and ready to make an offer, schedule a call with a Roam Advisor directly from the listing. Your Roam Advisor will guide you through each step of the process, while also working directly with your agent, the servicer, and the seller to ensure you close on time.
When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
Yes. Non-veterans can assume a VA loan, provided they meet the lender’s VA criteria. When a qualified buyer assumes a VA mortgage from a veteran or active-duty service member, the seller’s VA loan entitlement remains tied to the assumed loan until the buyer pays off or refinances the loan. This process restores the veteran seller’s entitlement, enabling them to use their VA benefit for a future home purchase.
Yes. All FHA loans are assumable by law as long as the buyer meets the FHA’s credit, income, and qualification requirements and obtain lender approval before assuming the loan (per FHA regulations effected December 15, 1989). Roam makes this process simple for buyers.
Generally, conventional loans are not assumable. In rare cases, a conventional loan may be assumable with lender approval. Use our search tool to find homes with assumable low-rate loans, or reach out to us if you’d like to confirm a specific home’s assumability.
