How AssumeKey Works
Three simple steps to assume a mortgage and save thousands
๐Ÿ 
Step 1

Find a Home

Browse our curated listings of Florida homes where sellers are offering their FHA, VA, or USDA loan for assumption โ€” all with below-market interest rates.

๐Ÿฆ
Step 2

Check Your Eligibility

Use our Lender Eligibility Checker to verify that the specific lender/bank allows assumption, get the exact phone number to call, and know what to ask them.

๐Ÿ“‹
Step 3

Apply to Assume

Submit your credit and income information to the lender, receive approval, work with a title company to transfer the loan, and close โ€” at the seller's low rate.

๐Ÿ’ฐ
Step 4

Save Every Month

Enjoy hundreds โ€” sometimes thousands โ€” in monthly savings compared to taking out a brand-new mortgage at today's higher rates. Lock in that rate for life.

Why Florida Sellers Are Turning to Assumable Mortgages

Florida's perfect storm of rising costs is creating a once-in-a-decade opportunity for sellers with low-rate loans.

๐ŸŒ€

Insurance Crisis

FL home insurance averages $5,600/yr โ€” 181% above national average. An assumable mortgage's lower payment offsets this cost, making your home more affordable than anything else on the market.

๐ŸŽ–๏ธ

Florida's Military Community

FL is home to 21 military bases โ€” NAS Jacksonville, MacDill AFB, Eglin AFB, and more. VA loans are the #1 assumable mortgage type. Non-veterans CAN assume VA loans with approval.

๐Ÿ”’

Rate Lock Effect

Millions of FL homeowners are "locked in" to low rates but NEED to sell. Insurance costs, HOA increases, and life changes are forcing listings โ€” giving buyers a rare window to lock in those rates.

๐Ÿก

Homestead Tax Cap

FL's Save Our Homes cap limits property tax increases to 3%/yr for existing owners. Buyers who assume the mortgage still get a tax reset โ€” but the lower mortgage payment more than compensates.

๐Ÿ“‰

Market Softening

Cape Coral, Tampa, and Jacksonville prices are down 7-13% from 2022 peaks. Sellers with assumable loans can price competitively AND offer the rate advantage โ€” a two-punch that moves homes fast.

โšก

12M Assumable Loans Exist

Nationally, ~12 million mortgages are assumable. Over half carry rates below 4%. But no single platform makes them easy to find โ€” until AssumeKey.

What Is an Assumable Mortgage?

An assumable mortgage lets a buyer take over the seller's existing home loan โ€” including its original interest rate, remaining balance, and payment schedule. Instead of getting a brand-new mortgage at today's elevated rates, you step into the seller's shoes.

This is especially powerful right now: millions of homeowners locked in rates of 2.5%โ€“4% during 2020โ€“2022. Today's buyers face 6.5%โ€“7.5% rates. Assuming a low-rate mortgage can mean $500โ€“$1,200 less per month.

Everything You Need to Know About Assumable Mortgages

Assuming a loan is one of the biggest money-saving moves in today's housing market. Here's how it works.

๐Ÿ’ก

What is an Assumable Mortgage?

When a seller has an FHA, VA, or USDA loan, a qualified buyer can take over that loan at its original rate โ€” even if it was locked in years ago at 2โ€“3%. You skip today's 6โ€“7% rates entirely.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

How Much Can You Save?

On a $400K home at 3% vs 7%, you save roughly $1,100/month โ€” that's $13,200/year or over $66,000 in five years. The difference is real, and it's yours to keep.

๐Ÿ“‹

Which Loans Are Assumable?

FHA loans (any qualifying buyer), VA loans (veteran or civilian with lender approval), and USDA loans are all federally guaranteed as assumable. Conventional loans are not.

๐Ÿก

How Does the Process Work?

Find a home with an assumable loan โ†’ apply with the current lender โ†’ get approved โ†’ close. The seller's lender does the qualifying. Most assumptions close in 45โ€“90 days.

๐Ÿ”‘

Do I Need to Be a Veteran for a VA Loan?

No. VA loans can be assumed by non-veterans with lender approval. However, the seller's VA entitlement stays tied up until the loan is paid off or refinanced.

๐Ÿ“Š

What About the Down Payment?

You pay the difference between the home's price and the remaining loan balance. On a $400K home with a $280K remaining balance, you need $120K โ€” either in cash or via a second loan.
