Frequently Asked Questions
Do builder rate incentives reduce the payment?
Yes. A rate reduction from 6.5 percent to 4.99 percent often lowers the payment by 100 to 300 dollars per month depending on the loan amount.
Are spec home payments lower?
Sometimes. Spec homes may include incentives that lower the payment compared to a to-be-built home with added options.
How much income is needed for a 300,000 dollar home in Springfield?
Many lenders want housing costs at or below 28 percent of gross income. Payments around 2,300 to 2,500 dollars often require income between 85,000 and 100,000 dollars depending on debt.
Will taxes increase after the home is finished?
Yes. New construction is assessed at full market value after completion, so taxes may adjust upward.
Which loan type gives the lowest payment?
Conventional financing with 20 percent down usually gives the lowest payment because it removes mortgage insurance.
