What is a Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to bridge the gap between two transactions, typically the purchase of a new home and the sale of an existing one. It provides temporary financing until the borrower can secure permanent financing or complete the sale of their current residence. Bridge loans are often used to facilitate a smooth transition when there is a timing mismatch between buying and selling real estate properties.

How a Bridge Loan Works

How a Bridge Loan Works

Do you need to put money down on a new property before you’ve sold your current one? A bridge loan can help you do that. Bridge loans provide the temporary financing you need to cover the down payment on a new home which allows you to purchase it before selling your current home.

  1. Plan: You need or want to purchase a new home before selling your current home.
  2. Apply: Apply for a bridge loan.
  3. Purchase: Purchase your new home with help from your bridge loan funds.
  4. Repay: Pay off your bridge loan when your house sells.
