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. 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,” said 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.
Advantages of the Third Federal Bridge Loan:
- Borrowers can use the equity in their current home for the down payment of their new home.
- No principal or interest payments on the bridge loan are required for up to 12 months while the current home is being sold.
- There are no application fees, cancellation fees, or prepayment penalties
The bridge loan is available for single family homes, planned unit developments, and condominiums that are primary residences. Borrowers must finance their new home through Third Federal.
