Whether you're purchasing your first home, looking to move into a larger space, or considering an investment property, our team is here to guide you through every step.

Our commitment is to provide clear, understandable options for home loans. We focus on helping you find a product that aligns with your long-term financial stability, not just a short-term solution.

Beyond traditional purchase mortgages, Patelco Credit Union also provides solutions for members looking to optimize their current home financing. This includes opportunities for refinancing to potentially lower interest rates or monthly payments, as well as accessing your home's equity through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) for other financial needs. Our experts are available to discuss which option best suits your current financial standing and future aspirations.

Mortgages for Every Homebuyer

Finding the right mortgage is crucial, and Patelco Credit Union offers a selection of mortgages tailored for different homebuyers. For first-time buyers, we offer programs designed to make homeownership more accessible, often with lower down payment requirements and educational resources to navigate the process. We believe everyone deserves a chance to own their home.

Our experienced mortgage specialists at Patelco Credit Union are dedicated to helping you understand each mortgage product, ensuring you choose the one that best fits your financial profile and homeownership dreams. We work to simplify the complex world of home financing.

Refinance Your Mortgage and Save

Many homeowners can benefit significantly from refinancing their mortgage with Patelco Credit Union. Refinancing involves replacing your existing home loan with a new one, often to secure a lower interest rate, reduce your monthly payments, or change your loan term. This can lead to substantial savings over the life of your loan.

"Refinancing with a lower interest rate can free up hundreds of dollars each month, directly impacting your household budget and financial flexibility."

Beyond just lowering your rate, refinancing can also be used to convert an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage, providing payment stability. Alternatively, a cash-out refinance allows you to tap into your home's equity, providing funds for major expenses like home renovations, college tuition, or debt consolidation. Our team will help you analyze your current mortgage and compare it against new options to determine the best path forward.

Unlock Your Home's Equity with a HELOC

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) from Patelco Credit Union offers a flexible way to access the equity you've built in your home. Unlike a traditional loan that provides a lump sum, a HELOC functions like a revolving credit line, allowing you to borrow funds as needed, up to a pre-approved limit. You only pay interest on the amount you actually borrow.

  1. Flexible Access to Funds: Draw money when you need it for various purposes, such as home improvements, educational expenses, or unexpected costs.
  2. Lower Interest Rates: HELOCs often come with lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans or credit cards, as your home serves as collateral.
  3. Interest-Only Payment Options: During the draw period, you may have the option to make interest-only payments, providing greater financial flexibility.
  4. Potential Tax Benefits: The interest paid on a HELOC may be tax-deductible. Consult a tax advisor for details. For general information on home equity and taxes, refer to IRS Publication 936, available at IRS.gov.

Patelco Credit Union's HELOCs are designed to give you financial control, allowing you to use your home's value to achieve other financial goals without selling your property.
