The Right Loan for Every Kind of West Bloomfield Home

Because the property type shapes the loan, Tania starts with the home you want and builds the financing around it.
- Lakefront and higher-priced homes with conforming or jumbo financing.
- Condos and townhomes, including a check of the condo project before you write an offer.
- Move-up buyers who want to plan the timing of selling one home and buying the next.

Property Types
Lakefront, Condo & Move-Up: What to Know Before You Buy
Here's what Tania looks at for the most common types of West Bloomfield purchases.
Lakefront homes
- Water frontage can raise the price above the $832,750 conforming limit, which means a jumbo loan or a larger down payment
- If the home is in a FEMA special flood hazard area, flood insurance is required
- Appraisers need comparable waterfront sales, so allow time in your contract
Condos & townhomes
- The lender reviews the condo association, not just the unit
- FHA and VA loans require an approved condo project
- HOA dues count toward your debt-to-income ratio
Move-up buyers
- Decide whether to sell first or buy first, and whether you can qualify carrying both payments for a while
- Equity from your current home can become your next down payment
- A full pre-approval keeps your offer competitive
Michigan Buyers & Homeowners
Good to Know in West Bloomfield
Taxes reset when you buy
In Michigan, taxable value uncaps when a home is sold, so budget on the new value, not the seller's tax bill.
File your PRE
A Principal Residence Exemption (Form 2368) exempts your home from up to 18 mills of school operating taxes.
Refinancing doesn't uncap
A refinance isn't a transfer of ownership, so it doesn't reset your property taxes.
Pre-approval first
A full pre-approval tells you your price range and makes your offer stronger with West Bloomfield sellers.

FAQ
Home Loan Questions from West Bloomfield
Do I need flood insurance on a West Bloomfield lakefront home?
If the home is in a FEMA special flood hazard area and you're using a mortgage, flood insurance is required. Many lakefront homes are outside those zones, so the requirement depends on the specific property. Check the flood zone before you finalize your budget.
Can I use an FHA or VA loan to buy a condo in West Bloomfield?
Yes, if the condo project is approved by FHA or VA. Conventional loans have their own condo review. Tania can check a project's status before you make an offer.
Do HOA dues affect how much I can borrow?
Yes. Monthly HOA or condo association dues are added to your housing payment when the lender calculates your debt-to-income ratio, which can affect the price range you qualify for.
When do I need a jumbo loan in West Bloomfield?
When your loan amount is above the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750 for a one-unit home in Oakland County. A larger down payment can sometimes keep you under the limit.
Can I buy my next home before I sell my current West Bloomfield home?
Sometimes. It depends on whether you can qualify with both mortgage payments and have enough cash for the down payment. Tania can compare buying first with selling first so you can choose the timing that works.
Will my property taxes change when I buy in West Bloomfield?
Yes, usually. In Michigan, taxable value uncaps when a home changes hands, so taxes are recalculated after you buy. Also file a Principal Residence Exemption (Form 2368) so your home is exempt from up to 18 mills of school operating taxes.
How do I get pre-approved in West Bloomfield?
Call Tania at 248-385-3986 or email tania.y@swifthomeloans.com. She will review your income, assets and credit and issue a pre-approval letter for your offers.
