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.


Frequently Asked Questions:

  • HOW MUCH DOWN PAYMENT DO I NEED?

    That depends on which home loan you get! Some loan types, such as a VA or USDA, can have $0.00 down payment options. But for most home loans, you’ll want at least 3.00 - 5.00% of the purchase price saved for your down payment.

  • HOW DO I KNOW WHICH HOME LOAN IS RIGHT FOR ME?

    Don't fret; this is where we can help! Your home loan officer will evaluate your situation and help you find the best home loan solution to fits your needs.

  • WHAT IS A CREDIT SCORE?

    Think of your credit score as your report card on how well you pay on time. It allows others to know if you can pay bills on time and repay debts or loans consistently. It tells a lender you can handle your finances responsibly. It’s typically a three-digit number ranging between 300-850.

  • HOW DOES CREDIT IMPACT MY HOME LOAN OPTIONS?

    Your credit score impacts what loan options are available to you as well as the rate you receive. Curious what your score is? Check your credit score for FREE! To access this Member perk, just log in to online or mobile banking!

  • WHAT IS PMI, AND DO I REALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?

    PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. Anytime you purchase a house with less than a 20.00% down payment, PMI is added as extra protection to the lender. However, our in-house loans offer no PMI options (a special Member Perk just for you)!
