Embarking on a dream home journey can be quite the process. Questions come up like whether to buy a move-in ready home or build a home. There are many factors to consider when looking for finance options to make your dream a reality, depending on which route you take. We are sharing some helpful information to guide you in the right direction.
HOME LOAN
A move-in ready option might be appealing if you need to make a move in a hurry, or if you don’t want to take on the complexities of a home building project. DuGood offers many flexible home loan options including 10, 15, 20, and 30-year loan periods. Depending on your creditworthiness, you may qualify for our most competitive rates.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN
When financing the construction of a new home, you’ll encounter a slightly different process than if you were to buy a home that’s already been built. Typically, a construction loan is used to cover the cost of land, contract labor, building materials, and more associated with building a new residential home. There are a few key aspects of a construction loan that you should consider.
- They are financed for shorter periods of time compared to traditional mortgage loans. The average period is about 1 year.
- Construction home loan rates are typically higher than a traditional mortgage loan simply because, with a home that’s already been built, that asset is considered collateral. Without this, it’s considered riskier for the lender, hence the increased rate.
- During construction, loan payments are set up as Interest Only payments as the new home building process progresses.
- Once construction is complete and the home has been inspected, the loan will be converted to a Mortgage loan with a monthly principal and interest payment for the term of the loan.
