Building a home comes with a lot of new terms, and "construction loan" is one you’ll probably hear early in the process.

Unlike a traditional mortgage, a construction loan helps finance your home while it’s being built. Funds are typically released in stages as construction progresses, then a permanent loan takes over once the home is complete.
