The new rates are designed to make homeownership more affordable for Guyanese families, whether they are buying their first home, building a home, or refinancing an existing mortgage.
The rates apply across every loan size, from low-income housing and young professional housing to high-value properties.
Loans up to $30M in project cost may also qualify under GBTI’s Low-Income Housing Loan category, creating more affordable financing options for first-time buyers.
