The bridge loan is back! Buy a New Home while yours is on the market!
CLEVELAND, Ohio – June 5, 2017 – The bridge loan is back. While the details of a bridge loan vary by lender, they allow a homeowner to buy a new home before selling their current home.
Under a new version announced by Third Federal, for example, an owner’s existing home payment is eliminated during the process.
“The new mortgage product, a bridge loan, is designed to be a link, or bridge, between selling a borrower’s current home and purchasing their next home,” Third Federal said in a statement announcing the new bridge loan. “Under the terms of the Third Federal Bridge Loan, a borrower’s existing home payment is eliminated so they only have one payment while they sell their current home.”
“With many markets facing low housing inventory, borrowers who are interested in buying a home need to act fast to have their bid accepted,” says Marc A. Stefanski, Third Federal’s chairman and CEO. “By using our bridge loan, borrowers who already own a home can eliminate a barrier to buying their next home and better compete in low inventory markets.”
The product is available in states where Third Federal offers mortgage purchase loans, including: Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. Effective today, Third Federal is also offering purchase loans and the new bridge loan in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee.
