What Are Purchase Loans?

A purchase loan, commonly known as a home buying loan, is a mortgage specifically designed to finance the acquisition of a new property. Unlike refinancing or other loan types, purchase loans are tailored for individuals or families aiming to buy a home, whether as a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property. These loans come in various forms, including conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans, each offering unique benefits and eligibility requirements suited to different financial situations.

At Summit Lending, we recognize that every Texas homebuyer has distinct financial circumstances and aspirations. That’s why we provide a comprehensive range of purchase loan options to meet diverse needs. Our mission is to match you with the ideal loan product that aligns with your budget, credit profile, and long-term homeownership goals in Texas.

Types of Purchase Loans Available in Texas

Summit Lending provides a wide array of purchase loan options to accommodate the diverse needs of Texas homebuyers. Below are the primary types of loans we offer:

Conventional Loans

Conventional loans are the most popular type of mortgage and are not government-backed. They often require a higher credit score and a larger down payment but provide flexibility in terms and potentially lower costs for borrowers with strong credit. Summit Lending can help determine if a conventional loan suits your home purchase in Texas, whether you're in Houston or a smaller town like Tyler.

FHA Loans

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are government-backed and ideal for first-time homebuyers or those with lower credit scores or limited down payment savings. With as little as 3.5% down and more lenient credit requirements, FHA loans are a popular choice for many Texas buyers. Our team at Summit Lending will assist you through the FHA loan application process to ensure you meet all criteria. For more resources, check our First-Time Home Buyer page.

VA Loans

VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and certain military spouses. Backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, these loans often require no down payment or private mortgage insurance (PMI), making them a cost-effective option. With Texas being home to a significant military population, including bases like Fort Hood and Joint Base San Antonio, Summit Lending is proud to support veterans in securing VA loans for their home purchases.

USDA Loans

USDA loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, promote homeownership in rural and suburban areas. These loans often require no down payment and offer low interest rates for eligible borrowers in designated rural zones. Many areas in Texas, such as regions outside major cities like Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston, qualify for USDA loans. Summit Lending can help you explore this option if you're considering a home in a qualifying Texas location.

Navigating the Home Buying Process in Texas

Securing a purchase loan in Texas involves several steps, and Summit Lending is committed to guiding you through each one. Here's an overview of the home buying process:

1. Pre-Approval: Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is a critical first step. It demonstrates to sellers that you're a serious buyer and clarifies your budget. Learn more on our Pre-Approval page.
2. Home Search: Once pre-approved, work with a real estate agent to find properties in Texas that match your needs and budget, whether in urban Austin or rural West Texas.
3. Making an Offer: When you find the perfect home, make an offer. If accepted, you'll proceed to the next steps.
4. Loan Application: Formally apply for your purchase loan with Summit Lending. We'll assist in gathering necessary documentation like income statements and credit reports.
5. Appraisal and Inspection: The lender will require an appraisal to assess the property's value, and a home inspection can ensure there are no major issues.
6. Closing: Finalize everything at a closing meeting, sign the paperwork, and officially take ownership of your Texas home.

Throughout this journey, Summit Lending's experienced brokers will be by your side, addressing concerns and ensuring a smooth experience. For first-time buyers in Texas, we offer specialized support through our First-Time Home Buyer resources.

Why Texas is a Prime Location for Homeownership

Texas stands out as one of the most desirable states for homeownership in the U.S., offering a unique blend of economic opportunity, cultural diversity, and affordable living. Here's why securing a purchase loan in Texas is a smart investment:

• Economic Growth: Texas boasts a robust economy, with major cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin serving as hubs for industries such as technology, energy, and healthcare. According to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, the state has seen consistent job growth, attracting professionals and families seeking stability and opportunity.
• Diverse Housing Market: From urban condos in downtown Dallas to sprawling ranches in West Texas, the state offers housing for every preference and budget. The Texas Association of Realtors reports that median home prices in Texas remain more affordable compared to national averages, with a median price of approximately $340,000 as of mid-2023, making it an attractive market for buyers.
• Cultural and Lifestyle Appeal: Texas is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts scenes in cities like Austin (often dubbed the "Live Music Capital of the World"), and outdoor attractions like Big Bend National Park. The state also offers a relatively low cost of living, with no state income tax, which can free up funds for homeownership expenses.
• Population Growth Driving Demand: Texas is one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., with a population increase of over 15% from 2010 to 2020, per U.S. Census Bureau data. This growth fuels housing demand, making now an opportune time to invest in property before prices rise further.
• Support for Homebuyers: Programs like the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation and local initiatives provide down payment assistance and other resources for first-time buyers. Summit Lending can help you navigate these programs to maximize your purchasing power.

With such compelling reasons to buy in Texas, Summit Lending is your ideal partner to secure a purchase loan tailored to this dynamic market. Our understanding of local conditions ensures you get the best possible terms for your home buying journey.
