Homestyle Energy Program Expansion

Mountain West is excited about the expansion of the Fannie Mae HomeStyle Energy Mortgage to include purchases as well as the existing refinance option. Borrowers can look to Mountain West for purchasing or refinancing a home while making important energy upgrades to increase home energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. Borrowers can finance up to 95% of the home’s value and up to 15% of the “as completed” appraised value of the home for energy-efficient upgrades into one loan. This option may be a more affordable financing solution than a subordinate lien, home equity line of credit, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loan, or unsecured loan. An energy report showing the cost-effectiveness is required for this financing with the exception of weatherization or water-efficient improvements of $3,500 or less.
