What is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan from Crebrid is an asset-backed financing option built for real estate investors who value speed, flexibility, and execution. Unlike traditional loans, hard money financing uses the property’s value as collateral, allowing for faster approvals and closings. Our loans feature competitive rates and terms designed to support both new and seasoned investors. It’s capital designed for action, not paperwork.

Delaware Real Estate Market Insights

Quick pendings and seasonal swings define a small, liquid Delaware market where light value-add works if you price precisely outside the beach corridor:
  • State snapshot: Delaware’s average home value is $398,669 (+2.5% YoY) and homes go pending in ~19 days, a quick tempo for a small state. That speed supports light value-add with conservative carry.
  • Local association read: The state association’s monthly stats flag the latest sales, DOM, and inventory after the 15th of each month. Use these updates to time listings and gauge buyer leverage by county.
  • Seasonal trend check: Recent press coverage notes time on market rising into mid-summer and a mixed fall forecast for prices. That suggests underwriting with a longer marketing window outside the beach corridor.
