VA Loan Interest Rates Hovering at 3.75-4% Today
February 28, 2012
The current VA loan interest rate is always a popular discussion since most homes for sale at Fort Hood are purchased with a VA Loan. We thought VA Loan interest rates were at a historical low in 2009, but the latest look at the rates today shows otherwise, with them bouncing between 3.75% and 4% for buyers with good credit (above 620 score). When you look at the rates to purchase a home, compared to rates charged by credit card companies, buying a home has never been a better decision! If you are thinking of using your VA loan benefit when you get to Fort Hood, contact us for more information. We sell the majority of our homes under the VA loan program and will be happy to help you get started!

5 Reasons to Buy A New Home in Killeen TX
February 2, 2012
Killeeen has many homes for sale, both new and pre-owned. Sometimes it’s hard to decide whether to buy an existing home or purchase a new home. If you are on the fence about what to do, here are five great reasons to buy a new home in Killeen Texas:
1. The number one reason to buy a new home NOW, is that it is cheaper than renting! With interest rates below 4%, you’ll have a monthly payment that will be much less than renting a similar, older home!
2. Buying a brand new home will assure you have the most up to date technology in heating, air conditioning, appliances, water heater, insulation and building materials. Being up to date transalates into being very energy efficient! This means your hew home will have lower utility bills than an older home, even homes just a few years older.
3. New homes will have fewer maintenance issues in the first few years. This means less money going out of your pocket, less stress, and more time to enjoy life in your new home.
4. New homes usually come with a warranty. A one year builder warranty is required if you use your VA Loan benefit. This means the builder is required to repair or replace any items that need attention due to failures in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of closing. Some builders go further and offer warranties on the electrical and plumbing systems of the home and the structural systems of the home. It’s a good feeling to know you are covered!
5. Everyone in your neighborhood has just moved in! It’s a great place to make lasting friendships with other folks who recognize the comfort and value of purchasing new.
Walking in to your new home and feeling the freshness and newness is like nothing else. You’ll be the first to cook on your new range, to soak in your new garden tub, and to enjoy all the features that you and others in your neighborhood look forward to when they purchase a brand new home!
