New Home Construction Loans

Unless you are paying cash for your project, you will need a construction loan to pay for the materials and labor, and you can use it to buy the land as well. Construction loans are a little more complicated than conventional mortgage loans because you are borrowing money on something that doesn’t yet exist. The bank wants assurances that you (and your contractor if you are hiring one) can get the house built on time and on budget. If you are converting the construction loan to a mortgage when the building is completed, the bank also wants to know that the finished building plus land will have a high enough appraised value to support the mortgage. Because the lender needs to know the story behind the project, and believe that you can make it happen, construction loans are sometimes referred to as “story loans.” There are many variations on these types of loans from lender

NEHomeLife.com | December 2016

to lender, and they change frequently, so you should talk to a few different lenders to see what plan is best for you. Two types of construction loans. The two basic types of construction loans used by homeowners are one-time-close loans, and two-time-close loans. In all construction loans, money is disbursed by the lender based on a pre-established draw schedule, so much money upon completion of the foundation, so much upon completion of the rough frame, and so on. The goal is to only pay for what has been completed, minus retainage, typically 10% of the cost of the project, which is held back until everything is completed properly and the owner is issued a certificate of occupancy (CO). Pros of one-time-close construction loans: • You pay just one set of closing costs. • You are approved at the same time for both construction and permanent financing. • Multiple options for permanent financing give you flexibility. Pros of a two-time-close loan • Greater flexibility to increase loan amount during project. • Mortgage rates are often lower than in onetime-close loans.

Typical Construction Loan Breakdown Land cost $100,000 Hard Construction Costs $250,000 Soft Costs: Plans, permits, fees $20,000 Closing Costs: Loan fees, title, escrow, inspections, appraisal, etc. $4,500 Contingency Reserve (5% of hard costs) $12,500 Interest Reserve $8,000 Total Project Cost $395,000 Appraised Value(completed project) $475,000 Downpayment $55,000 Loan Amount $340,000

NMLS # 470306

FINDING THE RIGHT LENDER  Most construction loans are issue by banks, not mortgage companies, as the loans are typically held by the bank until the building is complete. Since construction loans are more complicated and variable than mortgages, you will want to work with a lender experienced in these loans.

.GETTING PRE-APPROVED  Before getting too far ahead with your plans to buy land and build, or to undertake a major remodeling project, it makes sense to find out how much you can borrow. Call me today for a no obligation consultation to review your budget and all options available to you and current construction loan programs. Peter DeFusco First Eastern Mortgage 508678-1166

NEW HOME LIVING

HIRING ARCHITECTS

and Design Build Professionals

hen building your new home hiring an architect or a specialized design build team may be the best decision you could ever make. If you expect your new home to reflect all your personal preferences and needs than visualizing your home design prior to building makes a lot of sense. The first question you need to ask yourself with your largest life investment is what is important to you and your family. The first

step in any process ultimately becomes the most important.

There is a lot of confusion out there today about architectural design services and what exactly should you hire them to do. To answer these questions, you need to understand the range of services architects provides and which might make financial sense for you. Most new homes in the market today are not designed by architects, in fact its a very small percentage, just 1 or 2 percent. In addition while many architects

NEHomeLife.com | New Home Living | December 2016

“You should never have to adapt your life to suit your house. Your house should be designed to suit your life."

have done residential design projects, a relatively small number of architects are “residential architects,” who specialize in designing homes (vs. commercial and institutional buildings). Another misconception is that when you hire an architect to design a house, he or she turns over the design to you and your builder, and their work is done. This is one option, but an architect can also see a project through from concept to move-in. Residential architects offer a variety of services and you can save a lot of money by hiring them only for the services you need.

Six Ways an Architect or Design Build Team Can Help You

1. Here's the most important benefit to hiring an architect. Your architect can be your quarterback for your team. He can be your advocate. Hiring an architect gives you someone on your team who understands the process, listens to exactly what you want, and can and will look out for your interests. 2. Your architect can look ahead and anticipate things you and the builder may not see coming. Most people who build houses won’t be building more than one or two in a lifetime, so it’s critical to have someone on your side that has a plenty of experience with the design and construction issues that inevitably come up. 3. Your architect unifies the design. You could think of a house design as a complex puzzle where all of the rooms and spaces inside and outside the house are pieces of the puzzle. To solve the puzzle, someone has to figure out how to fit the rooms together to get the right flow of spaces. Someone has to think about how you are going to get the groceries from the garage to the kitchen. 4. Architects offer technical experience and expertise their clients need. They know how to build the house in the most aesthetically pleasing manner. Architects know how to build “green” while maintaining the aesthetics. Good architects can help get your house built without breaking your budget. 5. Hiring an architect is a way to buy experience and knowledge. You get a wider view from someone who has "been there and done that." yourself an architect who hasor had years of In Find some municipalities, an architect engiturning hisreview clients’and dreams into realneer experience is required to at least “stamp” ity, workingThis withis and stayinginwithin the drawings. common largebudgets, urban and the with issuesspecial and problems are a part areashandling and those buildingthat requireof for construction. ments steep sites, seismic conditions, high 6.coastal Architects think about how buildings feel to winds, or conditions. the people who live ifinyou them.

“An architect’s services can be utilized for almost any home improvement project from changing the front door of a home to complex additions or new home designs." Aaron Usher Photography

Aaron Usher Photography

David Andreozzi said,” There are a lot of misconceptions about architects out there today. A home represents the largest investment for almost all of us. We spend nearly 50% of our entire life in our home, so having a living space that is designed to function to suit our own personal preferences is paramount. Whether you are building your dream home or renovating your present home, it really makes little difference. Hiring an architect is not a luxury, it is a necessity.” “An architect’s services can be utilized for almost any home improvement project from changing the front door of a home to complex additions or new home designs. Adding an addition or renovating your kitchen and bath is great, but doing it without visualizing function is often money poorly invested. Investment in your home should always add value if planned properly and built to the right standards.” The services of Andreozzi Architects will insure your vision and investment represents a pleasing and functional living space while ultimately increasing resale value for the future.

WHITMAN HOMES

ince 1991 Whitman Homes has been built some of the finest quality homes in Eastern Massachusetts. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management team of Rich Whittington, Tim Porter and Bart Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien have created a cohesive team of professionals that are passionate about homebuilding. Their innovating home building philosophy and functional living designs have set a standard for new home construction in our region.

NEHomeLife.com | December 2016

From the start, the company has focused on one simple premise, listen closely to the customer’s needs, create a vision for their homes and execute each individual project to perfection. Their attention to detail, top quality craftsmanship, construction and award winning designs have made them one of the region’s most sought after builders. The company has designed and built over 600 homes in some of the finest communities in New England for hundreds of satisfied customers. At the Pinehills in Plymouth, one of the best planned residential communities in the country, Whitman Homes was one of the first 3 builders on the project designing and constructing over 200 homes. At the Bay Club Mattapoisett, Whitman built the model home at the facility and has since built over 15 custom designed residences on the property. In addition to being one of the preferred builders at The Bay Club, Whitman Homes is currently building homes at The Pinehills in Climber’s Path and Boatwright’s Loop, a townhouse community. The company’s newest communities are Farm Springs in Braintree, Waverly Oaks in Plymouth and Roscommon in Walpole. The company is also building or have recently completed custom residences in Metro West and the South Shore. In an interview with Bart O’Brien the companies architect and construction principle, Bart said,” Our company came into the business at a time when new homebuyers were looking for more imaginative ideas and designs in their new homes. The market for decades had become stagnant with new home builders offering much of the same in design and building. We tried to change all of this by building homes from the inside out. Listening to our clients and how they actually want to use living space day to day and on special occasions

give us a better opportunity to create something special for each individual client. The Pinehills is a wonderfully planned community that functions well for residents, building homes with the same sense of planning just made sense to us. We made the process of planning space as important as planning other key facets of construction, like energy efficiency. These principles insure that each homeowner is actively involved in choosing how they want a home designed from the inside out, instead of more traditional outside in designs that limit flexibility of living space. Whether a home is 1600 sq. ft. or 6000 sq. ft. the same disciplines apply. We build homes from $350,000 to $3.5 million dollars and in every case the rules are the same”. Each home is its own separate tapestry, with its own unique character and personality. It is this distinctive design philosophy that has earned Whitman Homes the reputation as one of New England’s most respected custom builders. Our goal is not to be the largest builder, just the finest. We offer our clients a sense of pride and caring and a level of service that we believe is unmatched. Our clients not only expect it from us, they deserve it. For more information go to www.whitmanhomes.com
