Purchase Mortgage Loans

At Greater Woodlawn Federal Credit Union, we take special pride in helping families achieve their financial dreams. We offer competitive fixed-rate mortgage loans at an array of terms to fit the individual needs and desires of each family.

Advantages of a GWFCU Mortgage:

  • Terms available up to 30 years.

  • Low closing costs.

  • No prepayment penalties.

  • Convenient automatic payment transfers from your share savings account.

  • No escrow required.

  • 5% minimum down payment required. Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is not required.


Refinancing

Lower interest rates have made this a good time to refinance your mortgage.

With a lower interest rate, you can save thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage. Take advantage of lower rates by:

  • Reducing the term of your mortgage. With a lower interest rate, you can pay your mortgage off faster while keeping your monthly payments about the same.

  • Lowering your monthly payments. If you prefer to keep the same mortgage term, a lower interest rate can reduce your monthly payments.


Home Equity

Whether you need money to buy a car, build an addition, send the kids to college, pay bills, or anything else, your home equity could be the key. You decide exactly how much you want to borrow, and your rate and payments are fixed over the life of the loan, with repayment terms as long as 15 years. If eligible, you can borrow up to 80% of the equity in your house. Even better, your home equity loan may mean certain tax advantages for you.
