This product gives you the ability to choose what loan term is best for your situation. A longer loan term allows for a low monthly payment whereas a shorter-term loan saves on finance charges. Please contact us for more information.

Construction Mortgage

We have a convenient mortgage solution that will help you build a home that is a primary residence or vacation home. Our construction mortgages are an in-house (Portfolio) mortgage product that has two phases. The construction phase is used to build the home through construction draws from your loan and you are only required to pay monthly interest-only payments on your loan balance. The permanent phase goes into effect when your home is complete, and your loan will automatically convert to a traditional fixed-rate mortgage that has both principal and interest payments. There is only one loan settlement and the interest rate will be locked in for both phases. Please find more about our portfolio mortgage product below.

Lot Loan Mortgage

Purchase and secure your lot before construction with our Lot Loan solution. We offer flexible and competitive loan terms to allow you the time necessary to plan and build your dream home at a pace that works for you. The Bank also offers construction/permanent loans that can help refinance the lot loan and enable the financing to build the new home. Please contact us for more information.

A portfolio mortgage is a loan that will be provided and serviced by The Peoples Bank.
