Indiana is not a “buyer beware” state (also known as caveat emptor). Home sellers here have to fill out a form disclosing their knowledge of any issues with the house to the buyer. But according to the fine print, those disclosure forms are not meant to replace a home inspection or act as any sort of contract between the buyer and seller. That means you’re still going to want a home inspection. A quality home inspection will help you attend your closing with confidence, knowing you’re not about to move into a major money pit.

30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates in Indiana

A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is the most popular type of home loan. This is a reliable option that tends to be the best mortgage solution for buyers who are looking to stay in their house for a long time. With fixed-rate mortgages, the interest rate remains the same for the duration of the loan, unless you decide to refinance. That means you can depend on your monthly mortgage payment remaining the same for the duration of the loan (excluding property tax and insurance).

The average Indiana mortgage rate for a fixed 30-year loan is 6.08% (Zillow, Feb. 2023).

Indiana Jumbo Loan Rates

Conforming loan limits throughout Indiana stick to the standard $726,200 level, as most homes in the state fit within that range. If you take out a loan that exceeds this limit, it is considered a jumbo loan and is accompanied by a higher interest rate. Remember that it is riskier for banks to lend these nonstandard loans and higher rates are how they offset that risk. The high interest rates that accompany jumbo loans may be a good reason to decide on a home that fits comfortably within your budget.

The average 30-year fixed jumbo loan rate in Indiana is 5.98% (Zillow, Feb. 2023).

Indiana ARM Loan Rates

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) stands in direct contrast to a fixed-rate mortgage. Unlike with a fixed-rate mortgage, an ARM’s interest rate level can change over the duration of the loan. An ARM may seem attractive because it offers a lower interest rate upfront which is available for a specific period lasting for one, three, five, seven or 10 years. However, when that period comes to an end, the rate can change and will likely go up. If you feel sure that you will no longer be living in the house when the introductory period ends, an ARM might be a good option for you.

While the interest rate on an ARM can change over time, it must follow specific rules concerning how many times it can change and by how much, which are laid out in the loan’s terms. If you decide on an ARM, it is a good idea to check the maximum possible interest rate and see if it’s something that you can afford to pay.

The average rate for a 5/1 ARM in Indiana is 5.50% (Zillow, Feb. 2023).

Indiana Mortgage Resources

For Hoosier homebuyers, there are resources available to help you in your mortgage process.

The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority is a resource available to homebuyers and homeowners. Some of the programs they offer include:

  • Helping to Own (H2O). Offers down payment grants and 100% financing for qualifying first-time homebuyers only, unless you’re buying in a targeted area.
  • Mortgage credit certificate (MCC). Federal tax benefits are available for qualifying first-time homebuyers only, unless you’re purchasing in a targeted area.
  • Next Home (NH). This program offers down payment assistance and is not restricted to first-time homebuyers.
  • Next Home with Mortgage Credit Certificate (NH/MCC). Down payment assistance and tax benefits for first-time homebuyers only, unless you’re buying in a targeted area.
  • Affordable Home (AH). FHA loans available for qualifying first-time homebuyers only, unless the home is located in a targeted area.
  • My Home (MH). Affordable loan options available for all eligible homebuyers.
  • My Home with Mortgage Credit Certificate (MH/MCC). Affordable loans with federal tax benefit for first-time homebuyers only, unless you are purchasing a home in a targeted area.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer in Gary, the First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Program by the Homeownership Opportunity Network offers a variety of benefits. It offers funding via forgivable loans for down payments and closing costs, among other home purchasing fees, for eligible homeowners.

Indiana Mortgage Taxes

Indiana is one of just a handful of states that collects a personal income tax, but does not offer a deduction on mortgage interest. That doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you’re buying in Indiana, though. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you can still apply for the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program to get a break on your mortgage interest. It is a credit that lowers what you owe on your tax bill.

Another bonus: Unlike most states, Indiana does not charge taxes on real estate property title transfers.

Indiana Mortgage Refinance

The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) no longer serves as an option for refinancing, as it ceased to exist at the end of 2018. It may be worth looking into an alternative: the High Loan-to-Value Refinance Option from Fannie Mae.

If you don’t qualify for these options, you can still shop around and compare different lenders to find a plan that you are comfortable with.
