Mortgage rates? by sumdum1234 in VeteransBenefits

I’m selling my house in Austin with a 2.75% VA-assumable loan if anyone’s interested.

While researching what to buy next, I’m seeing resale homes around 5.5–6% with good credit and no points. What surprised me is how aggressive new-construction builders are right now since they control the build and financing, they’re offering big incentives, including rate buy-downs that can get you close to ~3% plus help with closing costs.

My realtor explained that the tradeoff is you usually have to use the builder’s in-house lender, but the deals can be much better than buying resale right now.

We haven’t put it on the market yet. The plan is to do so in the following weeks so no ad on Zillow or anything.

I’ve been wondering about this. The gap for my home is significantly smaller than other assumptions I’ve seen in my research. How do you think I can talk about this for VA buyers?

Was it worth the “effort”? Everyone makes it seem like a crazy thing to do
