healthcare professional at workPeople working in healthcare often have unique needs when it comes to buying a home. Founded by Group Health employees in 1948, Salal Credit Union has a long history of serving the healthcare community, and today Salal Home Lending offers specialized mortgage options created to help make homeownership easier for a wide range of workers across the field—from nurses, physicians, dentists, and optometrists to administrative and IT staff.

One of the best benefits is $1,000 off closing costs through Salal’s Workplace Banking program, available when you purchase or refinance a home. In addition, Salal Home Lending offers flexible mortgage options, lower rates and fewer fees than the industry average, a fast preapproval process, fast-track closings, and responsive service throughout your loan process.

Salal’s specialized home loans include both adjustable- and fixed-rate options, giving you more ways to choose a mortgage that fits your goals. If you’re looking for steady monthly payments and a rate that won’t change, a fixed-rate loan gives you that stability and makes budgeting easier. If you are looking for lower payments in the early years of your loan, consider an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). These mortgages start with a fixed interest rate for 5 to 10 years, providing lower initial rates and lower payments in the early years of your loan.

Other benefits include:

  • Low down payment options.
  • Personalized support from a dedicated Mortgage Advisor.
  • Gifted funds can be used for down payment and closing costs.
  • No monthly mortgage insurance required for nurses and doctors.
