Why assumable still wins here
The math does not care about the zip code. Millions of homeowners locked FHA and VA loans between 2% and 4% in the 2020–2022 window; market rates sit near 7%. On a $300,000 loan, assuming 3.25% instead of borrowing at 7% keeps roughly $690/month in your pocket — about $82,800 over ten years. One rate difference, one purchase, the deal is made the day you buy. You make the money on the purchase — never count on making it on the sale.
FHA and VA loans are generally assumable by design; most conventional loans are not. And the loan never shows up in a listing — which is why off-market parcel intel is the edge, not a prettier search of the same MLS.

This page is educational, not financial or legal advice. Loan assumability depends on the specific loan, servicer, and buyer qualification — FHA and VA assumptions still require lender approval. Parcel counts above are the engine's verified live ingestion state (sources: VIRGINIA-BEACH-INGESTION.md, CHESAPEAKE-INGESTION.md in docs/), checked 2026-09-29; flagged-loan candidate counts are marked [DEMO] until the loan-fingerprinting signal layer is ingested. Always verify loan terms with the servicer before making an offer.
