Solid value in a growing area

It's an eleven-acre plat with quarter-acre lots, the kind of place where you've actually got some room to breathe without feeling like you're way out in the sticks. Homes here run around five hundred forty-two thousand dollars, and you're close enough to restaurants—six of them within a mile—that dinner out doesn't require a production. Walker Community Park sits about a mile away if you want to throw a ball around or take a walk without overthinking it.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
