Buying New Construction in Rio Rancho?

Much of Rio Rancho's growth is new construction in the northern subdivisions - Enchanted Hills, Mariposa, Loma Colorado and beyond. Builders often push their own preferred lender, but that lender only offers one set of rates.

As a broker, PSd Mortgage shops several lenders against the builder's offer so you can compare the real cost - including how builder incentives, rate buydowns, and closing-cost credits actually pencil out.

  • Compare the builder's lender to several outside lenders
  • Extended rate locks for homes still under construction
  • Straight answers on whether the incentive is worth the rate
