Texas Realtors say ruling will not affect home loans in state
Real estate leaders in Texas say the Supreme Court decision allowing federally chartered savings and loans to enforce due on sale clauses will have little impact. They note Texas law already permits such clauses and that 90 to 95 percent of Texas mortgages include them. State officials and lenders caution the ruling mainly confirms existing practice and should not hurt home sales.

National Realtors warn higher rates if S and Ls deny mortgage assumptions
National Association of Realtors executive William D. North warned that a Supreme Court ruling allowing federally chartered savings and loan associations to refuse mortgage assumptions could push up rates. He urged restraint and enforcement of due-on-sale clauses to limit foreclosures and aid sales, warning of discrimination and confusion as this applies only to federal S&Ls. North noted blended rates in states permitting assumptions and cited 42 percent of 1981 existing home sales with assumable below market rates.
