Home Construction Loans

Are you looking for a construction loan in Central PA? As a longtime community bank serving the people of Juniata, Franklin, McKean, Mifflin, Perry, Centre, and Potter counties, JVB offers local expertise in the home loan application and renovation or construction process. All of our lending decisions are made locally, giving us greater flexibility to help you find the right home loan.

What is a construction loan? 

Construction loans provide short-term financing to build a new home. Borrowers usually only pay interest during the life of the loan. Once everything is finished and you obtain a certificate of occupancy, you can convert your construction loan into a conventional fixed or adjustable-rate mortgage. 

With easy one-stop permanent financing from JVB, you can focus on design details while your lender takes care of contractor bills and inspections. Pay only interest during the home building process and then your short-term financing will be turned into a permanent mortgage without the expense and hassle of another loan application and closing.

Construction Loan Benefits

  • Stay organized: JVB works with you to ensure timely construction inspections and payment approvals. Keep your project on track to avoid going over your budget or timeline.
  • One Loan: With our one-stop permanent financing, you can avoid the hassle and cost of two closings.
  • Swift, local decision-making: We’ve been doing this a long time, and we strive to deliver swift, flexible local decisions on your loan application.
  • Personal service: Sometimes a friendly touch makes all the difference. At JVB, you can expect to work with the same person during your construction loan process.

When to choose a construction loan 

The lenders at JVB can help you weigh the pros and cons of each loan option against your current financial situation and needs. For example, if you already have equity in your home and want to renovate, you may be interested in a Home Equity Loan instead. When it comes to construction loans, you should consider whether your new construction home will fit in with the local real estate market; if you’re building a new home, you’ll have an easier time selling it down the road if it conforms to the price range and expectations of your local real estate market.
