There are only two ways to get a low interest rate right now. There are temporary buydowns and permanent buydowns. But there are a lot of ways to get creative on how this happens. My favorite way is through new construction. New construction in terms of inventory homes is the best “deal” you are going to find right now in this current real estate market and climate. Below you are going to find a treasure map, or maybe one would call it a gift. But if you wanted the black and white version, below you are going to find the most recent interest rates of the builders in the Greater Houston Area that I have personally received in marketing directly from them. (And when you need a realtor to represent you, I cannot wait to take your call. Cheers, Jo. – 832-493-6685)
How to get a low-interest rate when buying a home right now in the Houston Suburbs.
Below are all of the top builders building in and around Houston, along with their most recent incentives, and links to all of the neighborhoods they are building in. Keep in mind the incentives are good for the new construction by that particular builder. Please reach out to me and we can navigate this together. I truly want to not just be your realtor, but your resource. Hugs.
P.S. When you use us as your realtor, we are covering the cost of your third-party inspection. Please contact us for more details, and when you buy a Centex home, we are cover the cost of your garage door system!
Tricoast Homes – FHA/VA rates as low as 3.75% on select Tricoast Homes. This rate is based on a 2-1 buydown. For FHA, the downpayment would be a minimum of 3.5%, and the buyer needs a minimum credit score of 680. In year one the buyer the buyer would have a monthly payment based on an interest rate of 3.75%, the second-year interest rate would be 4.75%, and the final rate (3-30 years) would be 5.75%. Keep in mind, that you can always refinance when the market dictates more favorable interest rates.
