That’s why we offer construction mortgage loans designed to make your home-building process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Why Choose a PDCU Construction Mortgage Loan?

Building a home from the ground up requires a financial partner you can trust. Here’s why PDCU’s construction mortgage loans are the perfect choice for your new home project:

Competitive Rates: Our competitive interest rates help keep your construction costs manageable, ensuring you get the most value for your investment.

Flexible Terms: PDCU offers flexible loan terms tailored to fit your budget and timeline, making it easy to turn your dream home into a reality without financial strain.

One-Time Close: Our one-time-close construction loan simplifies your financing. You only have to go through the closing process once, saving you time, money, and stress.

Interest-Only Payments During Construction: During the construction phase, you’ll make interest-only payments, which will allow you to manage your finances more effectively until your home is complete.

Expert Guidance: Our experienced mortgage specialists are here to guide you through every step of the process. From pre-approval to finalizing your loan, we provide the expert support you need.

Local Decision-Making: Enjoy the benefits of local decision-making and personalized service. At PDCU, you’re not just a number; you’re a valued member of our community.

How Our Construction Mortgage Loan Works

  1. Pre-Approval: Begin your journey by getting pre-approved for your construction mortgage loan. This step helps you understand your budget and demonstrates to builders that you are a serious buyer.
  2. Choose Your Builder: Select a reputable builder for your project. We work with a wide range of builders and can help you find one that meets your needs and expectations.
  3. One-Time Close: Our one-time close process combines your construction loan and permanent mortgage into a single loan, saving you from having to requalify and pay additional closing costs.
  4. Build Your Home: During construction, you’ll make interest-only payments. We’ll disburse funds to your builder at key stages, ensuring everything stays on track and on budget.
  5. Move In: Once construction is complete, your loan will convert to a permanent mortgage, and you’ll start making regular monthly payments on your beautiful new home.
