Financing considerations

How the money usually works here

Construction financing: Custom track: buyer's construction-to-permanent loan. Production: builder-financed, close at completion.
Rate lock: Rate-lock options depend on the home's completion timeline, the loan program, and current market conditions. We will review the available options once the buyer's expected closing date is confirmed.
Lender credit: Eligible borrowers may receive a lender credit from our branch. The available credit depends on the final loan amount, loan program, and transaction details. Contact Corie for a personalized financing review.
Typical starting price: Mid $400s
Typical range: $600,000 to $850,000
Upgrades: Higher included quality than typical production; strong emphasis on materials over marketing.

If the builder owns the lot and delivers a finished home, read what happens between contract and keys. If the house goes up on land you own, start with how construction loans work in Pennsylvania.
