HOME LOANS¹ SERVICED IN-HOUSE.

Home loans that start with us stay with us. We service your loan here at the Credit Union rather than selling it to anyone else. Our knowledgeable Home Loan Officers are locals – you'll be financing your home with a loan from your neighbors!

We'll be with you from origination to your final payment.
Always know where your loan is and to whom your payment goes.
In addition to our friendly Member service, we offer competitive rates for 10-year, 15-year, and 30-year mortgages and home equity line-of-credit (HELOC)².
While PMI enables home loans with a lower down payment, you may not need it. Talk to one of our loan officers to determine if a no PMI loan option is right for you.

PICTURE YOUR DREAM

If you know what you want in a future home, it will be easier to make plans! Consider the area you want to live in, the size of your dream home, and any important features or amenities. Just remember to stay flexible! The housing market changes all the time, and you never know what might be available when you're ready to buy.

DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET

Know what you can afford and what you'll need to borrow. No matter when you aim to make a purchase, the sooner you plan your finances, the smoother the process will be! Use our mortgage calculator to determine what your mortgage will look like over the life of your loan.
