Chase is pushing Tight Envelope Homes

Expanded Energy Conservation Mortgages under the SEAL-SOLID® program offer homebuyers short and long-term savings. Closing cost rebate, tax credits, long-term rate locks, and lower utility bills are just a few of the mortgage and energy savings homebuyers can benefit from by building an energy efficient home under the SEAL-SOLID® program.

Using an Expanded Energy Conservation Mortgage, qualified homeowners can stretch their home buying dollars to include more amenities and higher quality materials. Options like dream kitchens, larger closets, expanded garages and extra bedrooms — that once were affordable only in high-dollar custom homes — are now within the financial reach of everyone.Chase is also offering a $500 bonus to those who participate in the program.
