Construction Loans

Building a new home

Many people dream about building a new home to their exact specifications. If you've been thinking about building a new home, it could be one of the most exciting and rewarding projects you'll ever undertake. If you're currently a homeowner, an alternative to a construction loan is to use the equity in your home to finance building a house. We offer a number of construction loans designed to help you finance the building of your new home. For information on construction loans, including the benefits of closing before construction begins, talk with a mortgage loan officer.
