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 Tempe assumptions close in 45 to 90 days, and UMe tracks the file with the servicer and both agents so nothing stalls.

What an assumable ratedoes to a Tempe payment.
The sliders start at the median Tempe assumable listing: $457,450 list price and a 5.49% 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.
The gap between price and balance is the seller’s equity: your cash to assume, or what a second loan can help cover.

How it works in Tempe
How to assumea mortgage in Tempe.
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- 01
Find a Tempe home with a locked rate.
Every listing on this page carries an existing FHA, VA, or USDA loan. Filter the Tempe map by existing rate, monthly payment, or cash to assume instead of by list price alone.
- 02
Cover the seller’s equity.
You pay the seller the difference between the price and the remaining balance, a median of $80,015 in Tempe today. Cash, a second loan, or seller financing can bridge it.
- 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.
- 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 Tempe payment written in a different decade.

All assumption FAQsHow many assumable homes are for sale in Tempe?
As of October 2026, UMe tracks 20 active assumable listings in Tempe. Inventory refreshes from the MLS throughout the day, so the map may show slightly different counts.
What types of assumable loans are available in Tempe?
Current Tempe inventory breaks down as FHA (14, median 6.45%) and VA (6, median 3.56%). 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 Tempe?
The lowest rate on an active Tempe assumable listing is 2.98%, and the median across all 20 listings is 5.49%. 6 listings are under 4% and 10 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 Tempe?
Across current Tempe listings, the median principal-and-interest payment on the assumable loan is $1,873 per month versus $2,533 for the same balance at today's rates, a difference of about $660 every month, or $7,914 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 Tempe?
When you assume a loan you pay the seller the difference between the list price and the remaining loan balance. In Tempe that gap is currently a median of $80,015 on a median list price of $457,450. 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 Tempe ZIP codes have the most assumable homes?
The Tempe ZIP codes with the most active assumable listings are 85283 (8), 85282 (4), 85281 (3), 85284 (3), and 85288 (2). 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 Tempe?
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.
