Green Choice Mortgage

Get More Borrowing Power

An increasing number of customers are considering  a “Green Mortgage” with OlyFed as Washington State continues to adopt more efficient energy codes. If choosing to go green, customers can consider their future energy savings and therefore qualify for greater buying potential. Using the Home Energy Rating System (HERS)* report to determine eligibility, this realized value is available to those with a rating of 55 or lower. Reducing energy consumption is a win for customers and the environment.

Put as Little as 15% Down without Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

With our Green Choice Loan, we lend up to 85% without PMI on loans $824,999 and below, which allows for greater flexibility when it comes to your budget.
