New Construction

How do I finance new construction?

By Bob Millaway July 26, 2026

Short Answer

New construction financing typically requires a construction-to-permanent loan that covers the building phase and converts to a permanent mortgage once construction is complete. You will need a larger down payment, typically 20% to 25%, and strong credit. Some builders offer their own financing incentives, including rate buy-downs or closing cost credits. Get pre-approved before you start looking at communities so you know your budget. Full answer page coming soon.
