Most financed Alamogordo purchases land in the $230,000 to $270,000 range. Using $250,000 as a working example, here is what each program asks for up front. Closing costs come separately, and for VA buyers the funding fee is waived entirely in some situations.

|---|---|---|
| VA (eligible veterans) | 0% | $0 |
| Conventional, first-time buyer | 3% | $7,500 |
| FHA | 3.5% | $8,750 |
| Conventional, standard | 5% | $12,500 |
| Conventional, no monthly mortgage insurance | 20% | $50,000 |
For eligible Holloman families the VA option usually wins outright, since nothing down and no monthly mortgage insurance beats the alternatives at this price level.
New Mexico runs a first mortgage program paired with a second mortgage for down payment and closing cost help, plus a zero-interest option for lower-income buyers. A 620 score and homebuyer education are generally required. For Holloman families it is worth remembering that basic allowance for housing counts toward household income for these programs, which can affect eligibility even when the purchase price qualifies easily.
Rates change daily with the market. The fixed, FHA and VA rates shown above refresh each business day, and VA pricing for Holloman AFB buyers is quoted from the same panel. For a same-day quote, call PSd Mortgage at (505) 908-1057.

Van Sturgeon is a miracle worker! She guided me through every step of the mortgage process, and was ALWAYS available whether by email, text or phone. She knew exactly what was needed, was extremely patient, and found an excellent loan at excellent rates for my new home purchase! The contract almost fell through 5 days before closing because of the appraisal valuation, but Van was steadfast about what needed to be done to make it work. I closed on my beautiful home yesterday, and it went without a hitch. Thank you so much, Van! You made all my dreams come true. I highly recommend Van Sturgeon to anyone seeking a home loan.
Working with Van made refinancing very easy. I had a lot of questions that were answered honestly. I wish more lenders had these ethics. I chose PSD after shopping many other lenders, and it was a great choice. I highly recommend Van and her company and will return for future needs.
