A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to chat with a family that had recently closed on their dream home—a celebratory moment in any case. But the Spitlers didn’t just get a new home to raise their three young children in. The house came with a 2.5% mortgage rate. The assumable mortgage rate attached to the home they found through platform Roam allowed them to afford their forever home. In today’s market, assumable mortgage rates can unlock housing affordability for home buyers—but they aren’t for everyone.

Pick up a copy of The New York Times today to read about the time machine we have built at Roam. For hopeful homebuyers needing support with the down payment, we are introducing Roam Boost. You can now assume a 2% mortgage with as little as 15% down. The typical rate our buyers receive with Roam Boost is around 4%, and they still save more than $500 / per month. This is a significant discount to a new mortgage at 7.5%. We’re also excited to announce the Roam 45-Day Closing Guarantee so customers know we’ll put our money where our mouth is. If we don’t close your assumption in 45 days, we’ll pay the seller’s mortgage until we do

😍 2% mortgages for homebuyers?! 💡 Founder & CEO Raunaq Singh & the Roam team are on a mission to bring assumable mortgages with rates as low as 2-3% to the masses, unlocking tremendous housing affordability potential. 🤔 Around 22% of active mortgages are part of government programs that allow for assumption, like Federal Housing Administration and HUD Office of Housing and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 🤓 We also covered lessons from Raunaq's time as an early employee at Opendoor, Culdesac and his marketplace experience at Uber. 🙏🏻 Special thanks to Shane Steele, Sofia Chevez & Parker Gowan for collaborating on this episode. ➡️ Tune in to the full conversation on Tangent 💚 Proptech, wherever you podcast (links in the comments below).
