Find Your Way Home With BSNB

Ballston Spa National Bank offers a full range of home loan programs, including fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, refinance, and renovation loans – with a dedicated team by your side.

A Mortgage That Fits Your Life

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your principal and interest payments will never increase. Find the right financing term that will fit your budget.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

Take advantage of a lower initial rate and predictable early payments – then plan ahead knowing your principal and interest may adjust as market rates change.

Home Refinance

Lower your rate and reduce your payment. Refinancing with BSNB could mean a better rate, a shorter term, or both – with local guidance to help you decide if the time is right.

Jumbo Loans

Finance the home of your dreams with a jumbo mortgage that gives you the flexibility to buy above conventional loan limits.

Second Home Loans

Make your getaway a reality with financing designed specifically for vacation and second homes, so you can start making memories sooner.

Investment Properties

Grow your portfolio with financing built for investment properties, backed by a local team that understands your real estate goals.

Construction draw loans

Construction Financing That Moves With You

A construction draw loan from BSNB finances your new home in stages – disbursing funds as each milestone is completed, so you’re only paying for what’s been built. You apply once, close once, and your loan converts to a permanent mortgage upon completion of construction.

  • Funds disbursed in stages for construction milestones.
  • Interest-only payments during the construction phase.
  • Construction phase terms typically 6–12 months.
  • One application, one closing – construction and permanent financing combined.
  • Competitive financing up to a high percentage of home value.

Build The Home of Your Dreams

A new construction loan from BSNB covers the construction phase of your new home, funding your builder in scheduled payments while you make interest-only payments, then converting to a permanent mortgage when construction is complete.

  • Interest-only payments during construction keep costs lower.
  • Flexible loan terms including 6-month, 9-month, or 12-month. 
  • Borrow up to 85% of your home’s value.
  • One application and one closing covers all loan phases.

A draw loan funds construction managed by your builder and converts to a permanent mortgage at completion. A construction end loan is for buyers purchasing a newly built home from a builder who is self-financing their own construction. It’s essentially a mortgage with an extended rate lock that protects you while you wait for the home to be finished.

No. A BSNB Home Improvement Loan is unsecured, you borrow based on your creditworthiness rather than your home’s equity. That means faster approval and no need for an appraisal or title work. A home equity loan or HELOC uses your home as collateral and may allow for larger loan amounts. Talk to a BSNB banker to compare options.

Home improvement loans can be used for a wide range of projects, including:

  • Kitchen and bathroom remodeling
  • Roof replacement and repairs
  • New windows, siding, or flooring
  • Heating and cooling systems
  • Decks, pools, and landscaping
  • General repairs and upgrades

  • Instant Money Line provides fast, flexible access to funds.
  • Fixed and variable rate options and repayment structures.
