Home Equity Loan Options

When you want to put your home’s equity to use, you can choose either a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit.

Home Equity Loan

A Home Equity Loan is one lump sum of money you borrow based on your home’s available equity. It’s great for home improvements or upgrades, debt consolidation, or major purchases.

  • Fixed monthly payments up to a 20-year term, depending on property type
  • Available for primary or secondary homes or investment property up to 4 units
  • Interest is potentially tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor
  • A rate discount may be available if at least 50% of improvements go toward energy efficiency or conservation, health or safety, or accessibility measures for your home
  • Manufactured homes must be on a permanent foundation and be model year 1980 or newer

Loan terms and conditions may vary by property type, loan type, and/or income or credit qualifications. All loans are subject to approval.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

  • 25-year term with a 10-year draw period
    Interest is potentially tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor
