Tucked away in the heart of Shadow Creek, one of Buda's most beloved communities, this charming single story brick home offers the kind of warmth and character that makes it feel like home from the moment you arrive. Step inside and the beamed ceilings in the living and kitchen areas immediately set the tone, elevated and inviting all at once. The open floor plan flows naturally, with the kitchen overlooking the living area, making it easy to stay connected whether you are cooking, entertaining, or simply unwinding by the fireplace. The kitchen is a true standout. Stainless steel appliances, two toned cabinetry with crisp white uppers and warm grey lowers, a built in bar, and tile and vinyl flooring throughout give this space a fresh and modern feel without sacrificing comfort. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a double vanity, a sliding barn door entry, and a beautifully updated spacious walk in shower. The secondary bathroom has also been updated with its own walk in shower, a thoughtful detail that makes everyday living feel a little more refined. Step outside and you will find a covered patio and a nicely sized backyard complete with stone landscaping and a dedicated firepit area, a great setup for cool Texas evenings with family and friends. The Shadow Creek community offers a pool, playground, sports courts, and convenient access to nearby shopping and dining, everything you need right around the corner.
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.

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.
