How to finance your new home

Travars Built Homes offers choices for your custom home financing.

Custom homes built on your lot require construction to perm financing. Our Preferred Lenders offer competitive rates and a variety of programs for you to choose from, including:

  • One or two time close options
  • Low down payments
  • And interest only payments during the construction phase

If you already own a lot, your lender will talk with you about how that can impact your construction loan.

If you are purchasing a lot for your home, the lender will talk with you about options, including wrapping the lot purchase into the construction to perm loan, with one transaction going forward.

And our three-step pre-build process enables you to know important information about land you are considering purchasing, and how site specific requirements can impact your bottom line.

What Impacts Custom Build Costs?

  • Selections & Finishes – The depth of detail in your quote will reflect what’s special about our upscale “standards.” Our design/build capability can further enhance the possibilities — such as expanded outdoor living areas, additional built-ins, or luxury elements.
  • Lot Conditions – Well, septic, slope, tree clearing, and driveway length are just the start of what we take into consideration as we evaluate your homesite together.
  • Permitting & Local Impact Fees – These vary by county and are factored into your site-specific estimate

You’ll work one-on-one with the builder — for guidance you can trust and decisions you can feel confident about.
