Douglas County, Tuesday, December 16, 2025, – Elk, pronghorn, mule deer, black bears, mountain lions and a variety of other species are now able to cross the I-25 Greenland wildlife overpass near Larkspur, which is North America’s largest wildlife overpass. Earlier this month, the Colorado Department completed construction of the structure, including covering the overpass surface with dirt and vegetation. The project was completed in less than a year, ahead of schedule, and on budget.

This overpass spans six lanes of interstate traffic, connecting 39,000 acres of habitat on both sides of I-25 between Larkspur and Monument.

“Colorado is leading the way in reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions, and improving safety for both our motorists and wildlife. The I-25 Greenland wildlife overpass is a momentous feat, in our continued work to expand safe transportation options for both humans and wildlife, protecting critical habitat, and our amazing outdoor spaces for generations to come,” said Governor Polis.

“The I-25 Greenland wildlife overpass is critical to the safety of both wildlife and motorists,” said CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew. “The overpass is an essential component of the wildlife crossing system in this area, which is expected to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by 90%.” 

The overpass is strategically located to address the 3.7 mile gap from other wildlife crossings and completes the wildlife crossing system of underpasses and fencing as a part of the I-25 South Gap project – which improved 18 miles of I-25 from Castle Rock to Monument. Prior to the system being built, there was an average of one wildlife-vehicle crash a day in the fall and spring wildlife movement seasons. CDOT’s research shows that the five underpasses are successfully being used by large and small mammals. However, the Greenland overpass was specifically designed and constructed to provide safe passage for elk and pronghorn. These species prefer wide open overpass structures.

The overpass location connects wildlife corridors and preserves open space with good proximity to water. The location is also a known area for high movement of large game.

A multi-agency partnership with the Federal Highway Administration, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Douglas County, the Douglas Land Conservancy and the Colorado Cattleman’s Agricultural Land Trust made the Greenland wildlife crossing possible. As part of the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, a federal grant award provided the bulk of the funding for the project.

“In Douglas County, we take great pride in being responsible stewards of our resources – including our natural spaces and wildlife,” said Commissioner George Teal. “Since 1996, our county – in partnership with CDOT, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and FHWA – has been safeguarding the wildlife habitat along the I-25 corridor. The completion of this wildlife crossing is a tremendous milestone, and we congratulate everyone who has been a part of this effort, which also benefits public safety and transportation.” 

“After more than nine years of planning and work, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is excited for Colorado’s wildlife to utilize this overpass,” said CPW Area Wildlife Manager Matt Martinez. “We look forward to deer, elk, bears, mountain lions and many other species safely crossing I-25, once a major barrier to migration and wildlife movements. In collaboration with our partners at CDOT, Douglas County, Douglas Land Conservancy and other stakeholders, wildlife overpasses and underpasses along I-25 will reconnect large tracts of open space along the southern Douglas County I-25 corridor.” 

Other Facts

  • The overpass is the single largest bridge structure for wildlife in North America and one of the largest in the world at 200 feet wide and 209 feet long covering 41,800 square feet, nearly an acre.
  • 76 girders hold up the bridge deck.
  • Wildlife that will use the overpass include big game animals such as moose, bear, mountain lions, elk, mule deer and pronghorn and smaller animals as well.
  • More than 100,000 vehicles a day travel this area.

]]> 1% for the Planet Member Company Live Dream Colorado Donates to Local Nonprofits Trails and Open Space Coalition and Palmer Land Conservancy

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 12, 2026: This week real estate brokerage Live Dream Colorado fulfilled its annual commitment to donate a portion of sales revenue to support the environment.

As an internationally recognized 1% for the Planet member company, Live Dream Colorado supports local nonprofits Trails and Open Space Coalition and Palmer Land Conservancy in their work to conserve and protect natural outdoor spaces in the Colorado Springs area. Live Dream Colorado, represented by broker owner Lauren D Collier and broker Jay Collier, recently donated $1,777.38 each to Trails and Open Space Coalition and Palmer Land Conservancy.

Trails and Open Space Coalition, represented by Executive Director Glenn Carlson, accepted the donation on March 12th in the presence of TOSC staff. Carlson says “With the generous support of Lauren with Live Dream Colorado, TOSC was able to continue its important work in the community. We successfully helped pass a new eBike policy in Colorado Springs, opening up recreation and transportation opportunities. In addition, we hosted nearly 2,000 volunteers in stewardship efforts throughout the region. In 2025 alone, TOSC removed over 7,000 lbs of trash from the community and advocated for the nearly complete Legacy Loop”

Expanding their giving in 2026, Live Dream Colorado welcomes their newest 1% for the Planet member partner, Palmer Land Conservancy. Donor Relations Manager Astrid Monar accepted the donation on March 9th, sharing, “Founded in 1977 through the Colorado Springs Parks and Recreation Department, Palmer emerged from a deep community commitment to preserve what makes southern Colorado extraordinary…to protect the landscapes, natural resources, and outdoor spaces that define our region’s character for generations to come. Several projects are on the horizon in 2026. With the City of Colorado Springs, we’re permanently protecting over 1,000 acres for possible future public use – new places to hike, bike, ride, and reconnect with the outdoors. Partnering with a local family, we’ll permanently protect a half-mile of wooded Fountain Creek shoreline – home to elk, mule deer, black bear, and countless species.”

1% for the Planet is a global organization founded in 2002 by the owners of Patagonia to support environmental giving. 1% for the Planet inspires people to support environmental organizations through annual membership and everyday actions. They advise on giving strategies, certify donations, and amplify impact. There are thousands of business members and nonprofit partners worldwide.

Live Dream Colorado is a Colorado Springs real estate brokerage firm dedicated to providing expert-level skills, zealous advocacy for clients, community philanthropy, uncompromising ethics, and first class service. Realtors® Lauren D Collier and Jay Collier believe that property ownership is a meaningful personal experience for every person, bringing freedom, responsibility, stability, and comfort. “We joined 1% for the Planet to give back to our community. For twelve years now we have donated to Trails and Open Space Coalition, and for the first time in 2026 we are additionally supporting Palmer Land Conservancy. We selected these organizations as our nonprofit partners because they preserve the outdoor environment in Colorado Springs, which makes for our incredible quality of life here. We don’t take that for granted, and we want to do our part to protect it,” says Live Dream Colorado owner Lauren D Collier.

]]> For many aspiring homeowners, the biggest obstacle isn’t saving a down payment. It’s the untenably high monthly mortgage payment, a function of high mortgage interest rates for new mortgages. Even buyers with excellent credit and sizable savings often find that the payments pushed by nearly-7% mortgage interest rates put homeownership out of reach.But there is a way to secure a dramatically lower monthly payment without waiting for rates to drop:

Buy a home with an assumable mortgage.

Assumable mortgages allow a buyer to take over the seller’s existing loan — including its interest rate, remaining balance, and repayment schedule. If the seller locked in a rate between 2020 and 2022 (often between 2% and 3.5%), assuming their loan can save you hundreds — sometimes thousands — of dollars per month.

This guide will show you everything you need to know:

What Is an Assumable Mortgage and How Does It Work?

Most mortgages in the U.S. are not assumable. Conventional loans typically include a “due-on-sale” clause, which means if the home is sold, the loan must be fully paid off and replaced with a new mortgage.

However, FHA, VA, and USDA loans are different. These government-backed loans generally allow a qualified buyer to “assume” the existing loan. Also, some conventional loans are assumable, although it’s a minority of them.

What an Assumable Mortgage Actually Means

When you assume a mortgage, you take over:

  • The remaining loan balance
  • The interest rate
  • The repayment term
  • The exact same monthly principal & interest payment

It is as though you’re stepping into the seller’s financial shoes, but with your own income, credit, and qualification.

Types of Assumable Mortgages

VA Loans

  • Most common assumable loan type in our area
  • Assumption frees the seller’s VA entitlement only if the buyer is VA-eligible
  • You do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan if the seller agrees

FHA Loans

  • You do not need VA eligibility to assume an FHA loan
  • You do not have to be a first-time home buyer
  • You must intend to occupy the home as your primary residence

USDA Loans

  • Limited but available
  • Mainly in rural areas

Why These Loans Are Assumable

Government-backed loans are designed to encourage home ownership and stability. Assumability is one of the built-in benefits. Lenders must still approve the new buyer, but the underlying loan stays in place.

General Requirements to Assume a Mortgage

  • Income verification
  • Debt-to-income qualification
  • Creditworthiness (typically 620+)
  • Approval from the loan servicer
  • Assumption fees (generally much lower than originating a new mortgage)

Unlike with a new mortgage, you are not shopping for new loan terms. The terms already exist – you’re inheriting them.

Pros and Cons of Assumable Mortgages

Pros

  • Huge monthly savings from a lower interest rate
  • Lower lifetime interest cost
  • Shorter payoff term
  • Great for buyers with large down payments

Cons

  • You must cover the equity gap
  • Assumption approval takes longer than a traditional mortgage
  • Not every home has an assumable loan

How to Find Homes for Sale with Assumable Mortgages (Without the Guesswork)

Most aspiring home buyers will benefit greatly from the savings of a mortgage assumption. The real challenge isn’t determining whether the loan assumption will save you money, it’s finding a house you like that has an assumable mortgage.

That’s exactly where we come in.

As real estate agents who specializes in assumable VA and FHA loans here in the Colorado Springs area, we handle the research, verification, and screening for you so you’re only looking at real, qualified assumable mortgage opportunities—not dead ends or misleading listings.

Why You Need a Specialist (Not Just a Search Bar)

Many homes with assumable mortgages are not clearly labeled as such online, so even motivated sellers with fantastic 2–3% interest rates may not be marketing their property properly.

Because we work with assumable loans regularly, we know exactly what to look for, including:

  • Which homes have low-rate VA or FHA loans
  • Listing details that indicate an assumable opportunity
  • Which servicers respond quickly — and which slow approvals
  • How to verify assumability, interest rate, remaining balance, and eligibility

You don’t need to sift through MLS data, real estate websites, forums, or social media groups. We’ve already done that work for you.

What We Do for You Behind the Scenes

Once we know your down payment, desired monthly payment, and preferred neighborhoods, we begin identifying the best assumable mortgage opportunities.

1. Checking Loan Eligibility

We confirm loan type:

  • FHA
  • VA
  • Conventional (less common)

2. Obtaining Essential Loan Details

We verify:

  • Current interest rate
  • Remaining balance
  • Monthly payment
  • Loan servicer
  • VA entitlement requirements (if applicable)

3. Running the Numbers for You

  • Monthly payment
  • Required cash-to-close
  • Long-term savings

If it isn’t a good financial deal, we tell you immediately.

What This Means for You

  • A curated list of verified assumable mortgage properties
  • Expert guidance through every step
  • Access to opportunities most buyers never hear about
  • A significantly lower monthly payment

How Much You Can Save by Assuming a Low-Rate Mortgage (Real Examples + Updated Math)

One of the biggest advantages of an assumable mortgage is the ability to instantly “step into” a loan with a far lower interest rate than anything available today.

Example Scenario

  • Home price: $550,000
  • Seller’s current loan balance: $350,000
  • Interest rate: 2.75%
  • Buyer’s down payment: $200,000
  • Today’s interest rate: 6.5%

A) Monthly Payment if You Assume the Seller’s Loan

Monthly Principal & Interest: ≈ $1,430

B) Monthly Payment if You Get a New 6.5% Loan

Monthly Principal & Interest: ≈ $2,212

Your True Monthly Savings

$2,212 – $1,430 = $782 saved every month

Savings Over Time

  • One year: ≈ $9,384 saved
  • Five years: ≈ $46,920 saved
  • 30 years: ≈ $333,000 saved

This is the power of assuming a low-rate mortgage.

Understanding the “Equity Gap” and Cash-to-Close

The “equity gap” is simply:

Sale price – seller’s remaining loan balance

You can cover the gap with:

  • Cash
  • Second loan
  • Gift funds
  • Equity from another property

Buyers with large down payments are the biggest winners with assumable mortgages.

When an Assumable Mortgage Makes the Most Sense

  • You have a large down payment
  • You want a lower monthly payment
  • You are priced out by current rates
  • You’re shopping in an area with many 2020–2022 purchases

Step-by-Step: How to Buy a Home Using an Assumable Mortgage

Step 1: Get Pre-Qualified

This demonstrates financial strength and prepares you for assumption approval.

Step 2: Submit an Offer That Reflects the Assumption

  • State the intent to assume
  • Specify loan balance
  • Clarify cash or second loan
  • Add seller concessions & contingencies

Step 3: Apply With the Current Servicer

The seller’s loan servicer handles approval.

Step 4: Servicer Underwrites the Assumption

This is slower than a typical mortgage. 30–90 days is common.

Step 5: Close and Take Over the Loan

Your payment begins at the seller’s interest rate.

Who Should Consider Buying With an Assumable Mortgage?

  • First-time buyers with strong savings
  • Move-up buyers with equity
  • Buyers wanting payment stability
  • Anyone tired of waiting for rates to drop

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Assuming a Mortgage (and How We Keep Our Clients Safe)

1. Thinking Any Loan Is Automatically Assumable

We verify loan type and assumability with 100% certainty.

2. Overlooking VA Entitlement Rules

We ensure sellers understand your VA eligibility advantages — or find lenders who allow non-VA buyers.

3. Underestimating the Cash Needed for the Equity Gap

We calculate exact numbers early, avoiding surprises.

4. Working With an Agent Who Isn’t Experienced

Most agents have never closed an assumption. We’ve handled many.

5. Expecting Assumption Approval to Be Fast

We manage expectations and ensure the process moves efficiently.

Final Thoughts: Is an Assumable Mortgage Right for You?

If you’ve saved a large down payment but feel priced out by high monthly mortgage payments, an assumable mortgage can be the single most powerful tool to make homeownership affordable.

Instead of waiting for interest rates to fall, you can:

  • Lock in a 2%–4% interest rate
  • Slash your monthly payment
  • Build equity faster
  • Lower your long-term cost of homeownership

Assumable mortgages are an underused advantage. With the right guidance, you can save tens — even hundreds — of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
