How an assumption works

Three steps. One lower payment.

You’re not applying for a new mortgage. You’re stepping into one that already exists, at the rate it was written.

  1. 01

    Find a locked rate

    Every listing here carries an existing FHA, VA, or USDA loan you can take over. Filter by rate, payment, or down payment.

  2. 02

    Qualify with the servicer

    You apply with the current lender, not a new one. Our team handles the paperwork and the timeline.

  3. 03

    Close and keep the rate

    The seller’s balance, rate, and remaining term become yours. No points, no rate shopping, no reset to 30 years.

Questions

Assuming a mortgage in Malibu

Numbers below come from current Malibu inventory and update as listings change.

Are there assumable homes for sale in Malibu?
As of September 2026, there are no verified assumable listings in Malibu. New assumable homes appear every week across California; save a search on the map and we will email you when one lands in Malibu.
What types of loans can be assumed in Malibu?
FHA, VA, and USDA mortgages are assumable by law and make up nearly all assumable listings in California. Conventional loans usually include a due-on-sale clause and cannot be assumed. You do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan.
How long does a mortgage assumption take in Malibu?
Most FHA and VA assumptions close in 45 to 90 days. The loan servicer, not a new lender, underwrites you, and servicer turnaround is the main variable. UMe tracks the file with the servicer and the listing agent so nothing stalls, and every listing shows whether the assumption has already been confirmed with the seller's side.
