How assumptions work for buyers

Lakewood, Colorado has 34 homes for sale with an assumable mortgage as of November 2026: 27 FHA loans and 7 VA loans that a qualified buyer can take over at the seller's existing rate instead of financing at today's roughly 7.2%. Rates on active Lakewood assumable listings start at 2.61% with a median of 4.45%; 15 listings are under 4% and 20 are under 5%.

The median assumable home in Lakewood lists for $354,950, with a median of $110,484 in cash to assume, the gap between the price and the remaining loan balance. At the median assumable rate the principal-and-interest payment is about $1,509 a month versus $2,207 for the same balance at today's rate, roughly $698 kept every month and $8,379 a year. The most active Lakewood ZIP codes are 80227 (12), 80228 (8), 80226 (5), 80232 (5), and 80214 (3).

UMe confirms the balance, rate, and assumability of each listing with the listing agent before marking it Certified. FHA, VA, and USDA loans are assumable by law, and you do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan. Once you are under contract, the loan servicer underwrites you rather than a new lender; most Lakewood assumptions close in 45 to 90 days, and UMe tracks the file with the servicer and both agents so nothing stalls.

The sliders start at the median Lakewood assumable listing: $354,950 list price and a 4.45% existing rate. We compare the payment you would take over against financing the same balance with a new loan at today’s 7.20%. Principal and interest only; taxes, insurance, and HOA dues are the same either way.

How it works in Lakewood

How to assumea mortgage in Lakewood.

You’re not applying for a new mortgage. You’re stepping into one that already exists, at the rate it was written. Four steps, and UMe owns the hard one.

Start with pre-qualification
  1. 01

    Find a Lakewood home with a locked rate.

    Every listing on this page carries an existing FHA, VA, or USDA loan. Filter the Lakewood map by existing rate, monthly payment, or cash to assume instead of by list price alone.

  2. 02

    Cover the seller’s equity.

    You pay the seller the difference between the price and the remaining balance, a median of $110,484 in Lakewood today. Cash, a second loan, or seller financing can bridge it.

  3. 03

    Qualify with the servicer, not a new lender.

    The current loan servicer reviews your credit, income, and debt just like a lender would. UMe prepares the file, works the servicer directly, and chases every follow-up so the 45-to-90-day timeline holds.

  4. 04

    Close and keep the rate.

    The seller’s balance, rate, and remaining term become yours. No points, no origination fee, no reset to 30 years, and a Lakewood payment written in a different decade.

Lakewood questions

The numbers below come from current Lakewood inventory and update as listings change.

All assumption FAQs

How many assumable homes are for sale in Lakewood?

As of November 2026, UMe tracks 34 active assumable listings in Lakewood. Inventory refreshes from the MLS throughout the day, so the map may show slightly different counts.

What types of assumable loans are available in Lakewood?

Current Lakewood inventory breaks down as FHA (27, median 4.72%) and VA (7, median 2.94%). FHA, VA, and USDA mortgages are assumable by law, which is why they make up nearly all assumable listings. Conventional loans usually carry a due-on-sale clause and cannot be assumed. You do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan, though the seller's entitlement stays tied up unless you substitute your own.

What is the lowest assumable mortgage rate in Lakewood?

The lowest rate on an active Lakewood assumable listing is 2.61%, and the median across all 34 listings is 4.45%. 15 listings are under 4% and 20 are under 5%, compared with roughly 7.2% for a new 30-year loan today.

How much can I save with a mortgage assumption in Lakewood?

Across current Lakewood listings, the median principal-and-interest payment on the assumable loan is $1,509 per month versus $2,207 for the same balance at today's rates, a difference of about $698 every month, or $8,379 a year. The savings compound because you also keep the seller's remaining term instead of restarting a 30-year clock.

How much money do I need to assume a home in Lakewood?

When you assume a loan you pay the seller the difference between the list price and the remaining loan balance. In Lakewood that gap is currently a median of $110,484 on a median list price of $354,950. Buyers cover it with cash, a second mortgage, or seller financing; UMe can connect you with lenders who write gap loans behind an assumption.

Which Lakewood ZIP codes have the most assumable homes?

The Lakewood ZIP codes with the most active assumable listings are 80227 (12), 80228 (8), 80226 (5), 80232 (5), and 80214 (3). Use the map to draw your own boundary or filter by rate, payment, and down payment inside any of them.

How long does a mortgage assumption take in Lakewood?

Most FHA and VA assumptions close in 45 to 90 days. The loan servicer, not a new lender, underwrites you, and servicer turnaround is the main variable. UMe tracks the file with the servicer and the listing agent so nothing stalls, and every listing shows whether the assumption has already been confirmed with the seller's side.
