How to Get a Low-Interest Rate When Buying a Home in the Houston Suburbs

Looking for a low-interest rate on a new home? You have two main options: temporary buydowns and permanent buydowns. The best opportunities for low rates are often available with new construction homes, as builders frequently offer enticing incentives to make homeownership more affordable.

Below, you’ll find a list of top builders in the Greater Houston Area and their latest offers. When you're ready to explore your options, I’m here to guide you every step of the way!

P.S. As your realtor, I'll cover the cost of your third-party inspection, and if you buy a Centex home, I'll cover your garage door system! Contact me for details at 832-654-0065.
