Why Augusta Sellers Choose Local Home Buyers USA
Fort Eisenhower Cyber Command soldiers bought at the top of the 2020-2022 rate cycle. Many are now getting reassigned — or separating and relocating to higher-paying tech jobs. Their 2.5-3.5% FHA/VA loans are sitting in Augusta homes worth $240-$280K. That means a buyer who assumes the loan saves $450-$750/month vs. new financing. That is a dealmaker in any market.
