Wholesale pricing

Construction Loan Rates

Construction Loan rates change daily — and the rate you’re quoted depends as much on who’s quoting as on the market. Banks quote their own rate sheet; CDL Mortgage shops multiple wholesale lenders on every construction loan and shows you the best pricing across the market.

The fastest way to know your real rate is a quick scenario quote: your credit range, loan amount, and property details. We’ll price it across our lender panel the same day, with no credit pull required for an initial quote.

What determines your construction loan rate

  • Credit score — higher scores unlock the best construction loan pricing tiers; even a 20-point improvement can change your rate.

  • Down payment / equity — a lower loan-to-value means less lender risk and better pricing.

  • Loan amount & property type — loan sizing and single-family vs. condo or multi-unit both affect your rate.

  • Occupancy — primary residences price better than second homes and investment properties.

  • Points & credits — pay discount points for a lower rate, or take a lender credit toward closing costs.

  • Lock timing — rates move daily; we watch the market and lock when the timing is right for you.

Questions

Construction Loans FAQs

How does a construction loan work?

Funds are disbursed in draws as construction milestones are completed, with interest-only payments on the drawn balance during the build. When the home is finished, the loan converts to (or is replaced by) a permanent mortgage.

What is a construction-to-permanent loan?

A single-close loan that covers the build and automatically converts to your permanent mortgage when construction finishes — one application, one closing, one set of fees.

What down payment does a construction loan require?

Typically 10-20% of the total project cost (land plus build). If you already own your lot, its equity can often count toward the down payment.

Do I need a licensed builder?

Most programs require a licensed, insured general contractor with a track record. Some owner-builder options exist for qualified borrowers — ask us about the requirements.
