About this home

In a landscape of the ordinary, this captivating stucco and brick masterpiece commands the street with a presence that modern builds cannot replicate. This isn't just a home; it is a fortress of character in the heart of 43016. Meticulously maintained by the same devoted owners for nearly 40 years--who loved the property so much they transitioned from renters to owners and never looked back--this residence radiates an authentic ''Pride of Ownership'' that modern construction simply cannot mimic. Engineering & Longevity Spanning ~1,796 sq ft of highly intentional living space, the home has been fortified with a suite of high-end, essential updates designed to take maintenance off your plate for decades: The Shield: A brand-new roof 2023, newer Pella windows (curb appeal), and LeafGuard gutters. The Finish: High-end epoxy garage flooring and plush 2019 carpet. The Kitchen: Brand-new stainless appliances offer a pristine canvas. We have priced this home strategically, allowing the next owner to crown the cabinetry with their choice of quartz or quartzite--transforming an already exceptional space into a custom masterpiece. The Low-Maintenance Sanctuary Designed for the buyer who values their time over a lawnmower, the private rear patio is a true ''Lock-and-Go'' luxury setup. Backing to a quiet, established community with professional privacy fencing, it offers a level of seclusion rarely found at this price point. Spend your Saturdays at Bridge Park or Hayden Falls, knowing your sanctuary is secure and effortless. Pet free home. Rare character. Unwavering devotion. A price engineered to lead the Dublin/Hilliard market. In a world of ''Average,'' refuse to settle. Be Anticipated. Be In Demand. Be Sold.

FAQ

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. Utilize the search filters to narrow down your search. Click “Save search” to save your search preferences and activate listing notifications—we’ll email you as soon as new listings match your criteria.

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.
