Common questions
It depends on your price, down payment, credit and loan type. Your payment is principal and interest plus Snohomish County property tax, homeowners insurance and, under 20% down, mortgage insurance. Text us your numbers and we send you an exact quote with every cost, usually the same day.
Yes. The Snohomish County FHA limit is $1,063,750, which covers a typical Lake Stevens home with 3.5% down. FHA often makes sense when credit is under 700; above that, conventional usually comes out ahead once you compare mortgage insurance. We price both and show you the difference.
Usually not. The 2026 conforming limit is $1,063,750, and a typical Lake Stevens purchase lands well under it, so you get agency pricing from every lender we work with.
Yes. For eligible first-time buyers we can arrange assistance covering the 3.5% down payment plus up to 1.5% toward closing costs, up to 5% of the price. Tell us you have under 5% saved and we check what you qualify for on your Lake Stevens purchase before anything is promised.
