Residential Construction Loans
Residential Construction loans for the individual or for the builder constructing a home for their client are available. A Commercial Loan Officer can work with you on a residential construction loan that will be best suited for your project. Contact any Bank office to get started!
Jumbo
A loan is considered jumbo if the amount of the mortgage exceeds loan-servicing limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — currently this applies to loans over $726,200 for a single-family home in all states (except a few federally designated high-cost markets, where the limit is $970,800).
HomeReady Loan Program
This is a Fannie Mae loan program designed to help creditworthy low to moderate income home buyers purchase in today’s market.
In residential lending there should be certain things which are just standard, we like to call these the “Givens”. Some lenders talk about “great service”, “competitive pricing”, or their “programs” like they are special. Here at Willamette Valley Bank we feel those things should be a GIVEN.

Home Loan FAQs
Can I get a home loan while in Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Can I get a home loan while in Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Yes you can in many circumstances! If you’ve been in repayment for a year or more, all payments have been made on time, your credit scores are above 600, and you have a stable monthly income, there may be options for you.
My credit took some hits, but I want to buy a home.
FHA Loan could help you accomplish this. With an FHA loan there is a low downpayment minimum, which can come from a gift or a grant and the program even allows for a lower credit score to qualify.

I am a veteran who wants to buy a home.
If you’re active duty military or a veteran or an eligible family member of a military veteran, you may qualify for a Veterans Affairs loan. The VA Mortgage is a government-based product offering 100% financing of the reasonable value of the property, with less restrictive qualifying terms than conventional programs.
*VA loans require a VA Funding Fee that may be financed into the loan or paid out of pocket at closing.
I live in a high-priced area.
A High-Balance Mortgage Loan is defined as a conventional mortgage where the original loan amount exceeds the conforming loan limits published yearly by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), but does not exceed the loan limit for the high-cost area in which the mortgaged property is located, as specified by the FHFA. The conforming loan limit is $453,100 and the high-cost area limit is $679,650 for a 1-unit dwelling in the continental U.S. WVBK offers high balance loans from both conventional and government home loan programs.
I need a loan amount above the conforming limit.
Jumbo mortgage is a plus-size home loan weighing in at a dollar amount above what are called the conforming loan limits. A jumbo loan will typically come with more demanding requirements than a smaller, conforming mortgage. The jumbo loan threshold is $453,100 in most of the United States, though in the highest-cost areas loans have to go over $679,650 to reach jumbo territory.
