NewPhase Home Builders are developers as well as home builders so we have homesites to choose from that can be viewed under the communities tab on our website or we are happy to build your home on another homesite.

There are two basic types of loans, when dealing with new home construction. The first is what is referred to as a Two Time Close, where the Buyer obtains a construction loan from the lender of their choosing (closing one) and the builder makes draws with the Buyer’s lender for the construction of the home. When the home is completed the second and final closing takes place. The second type is where the Builder handles the financing of the home during construction and the Buyer gets a loan and when the house is complete and ready for move-in, there is one final closing.  Both types of loans are commonly used.  We would be happy to put you in touch with our Preferred Lender to discuss it in more detail.  No obligation required.
