Home Equity Options


Home Equity Line of Credit
With a Home Equity Line of Credit, you can use the value of your home to help pay for expenses such as college tuition, home improvements, or a new car.  With a line of credit, you borrow only what you need, when you need it. The interest you pay on the loan may also save you money on your income taxes.* Contact our Mortgage Specialists for more information and current rates. 

Home Improvement Loans/Second Mortgages
By tapping the equity in your home, a home equity loan or second mortgage can make enhancing your home or building that long-desired addition a reality. With rates still low, there's never been a better time to look at home equity options. The interest you pay on the loan may also save you money on your income taxes.* Contact our Mortgage Specialists for more information and current rates. 
 

* Please consult your tax advisor.

In our area, many properties have considerable acreage. In the lending world, these properties are more difficult to finance. However, as a community bank with a keen understanding of this area's real estate environment and the local economy, we are able to finance many of these properties, whereas lenders in the secondary loan market would not. Come talk with us about that land you have your eye on.
