Goodyear, AZ Mortgage Broker and Home Loans

New Builds, Move Ups and Growing Families.

Goodyear buyers tend to be building or moving up, and the median household income here tops $100,000. That makes conventional financing the usual starting point, with VA and FHA close behind. Buying a new build? You can use your own lender. We price your loan against the builder's offer so you can see which deal actually costs less.

Pillar Mortgage Group arranges home loans in Goodyear, from new construction communities to resale homes near the ballpark. We shop multiple wholesale lenders for conventional, VA, FHA and bank statement loans, and we can compare against the builder's lender before you sign.

What Is Different About Buying in Goodyear

New communities and a fast growing job base shape how Goodyear homes get financed.

01

New Builds and Builder Incentives

Builders often tie incentives to their own lender. Bring us the builder's offer before you sign and we will set our quote beside it, rate and closing costs together, so you can see what that incentive really costs. Building takes time, so ask us how rate locks work for your closing date.

02

Jobs on the West Side

Goodyear employers include Amazon, UPS, Sub-Zero, REI and AerSale (City of Goodyear). Shift pay, overtime or a new job? We show you exactly how lenders will count it.

03

Close to Downtown

Goodyear sits less than 20 minutes from downtown Phoenix (AZ Commerce), and Goodyear Ballpark hosts spring training for the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland (AZ Commerce).

04

Military Retirees

Luke Air Force Base serves about 70,000 military retirees living in greater Phoenix (Luke AFB). If you served, VA financing can mean no down payment on a home you live in.

05

Tire Company Roots, Mountain Park Trails

In 1917, executive Paul Litchfield bought 16,000 acres here for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, when cotton for World War I airplane tires was in short supply, and residents chose the name Goodyear in 1944 (City of Goodyear). Today more than 16 square miles of Estrella Mountain Regional Park, with 33 miles of trails, lie inside the city (City of Goodyear). Love the trails? Time the drive to your job at rush hour from any home near the park, because commute is the cost a listing never shows.

Estimate only, not a quote or a commitment to lend. FHA figures use HUD's 1.75% upfront premium (financed) and HUD's annual premium by loan size and down payment (on 30 year loans, 0.50% or 0.55% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.70% or 0.75% above that; on 15 year loans, 0.15% or 0.40% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.15%, 0.40% or 0.65% above that); VA figures use VA's funding fee for first use (2.15% under 5% down, 1.5% at 5% to under 10%, 1.25% at 10% or more), financed. Conventional loans under 20% down usually carry PMI; enter your quote. Taxes and insurance vary by home.

Book a Free Call

Can I use my own lender on a Goodyear new build?

Yes. You can choose your own lender on a new construction home. Builders sometimes offer incentives tied to their lender, so get our quote first and compare the incentive against the full cost of each loan.

Can I use VA in Goodyear?

Yes, for a home you will live in, including eligible new construction. With full entitlement there is no VA loan limit, though your lender still approves the amount based on your credit, income and the appraisal.

What is the 2026 FHA loan limit in Goodyear?

Goodyear falls under Maricopa County's 2026 FHA limit of $557,750 (HUD) and the $832,750 conforming limit (FHFA). With median household income here topping $103,319 (Census), most Goodyear buyers land comfortably inside conventional financing without needing FHA at all.

Can I buy before I sell my current home?

Yes. Bridge financing lets you buy your Goodyear home first and sell your current home after. We quote your terms in writing before you commit.

How much do I need down for a Goodyear home?

FHA starts at 3.5% down, VA can be zero down for eligible veterans, and conventional loans can go below 20% with mortgage insurance. Use the calculator on this page with the Goodyear median home value of $471,300 to see the payment.

How long does it take to close on a Goodyear home?

About 18 days on average, and as fast as 10 days when the file and the appraisal move quickly. Goodyear has many new builds, so bring us the builder's offer before you sign. We set our quote beside the builder's lender and line up your rate lock with the construction schedule so the loan is ready when the home is.
