Aven launches Home Purchase Line, allowing home purchases to close in as little as 7 days

Aven Financial, Inc. announced on October 30, 2026, the launch of Aven Home Purchase Line. The company said qualified buyers can borrow up to $2 million for a home purchase, and the time from application to closing can be shortened to as little as 7 days. This timeline runs from when a buyer applies to finance a planned home purchase to the end of the home sale closing. The company said that a recent home purchase completed in Tucson, Arizona took 67 hours from application to closing, showing that the 7-day timeline has been achieved in production.

The average closing time for traditional closed-end mortgage loans is 42 days, according to ICE Mortgage Technology June 2025 industry data. Home Purchase Line is an open-end line of credit secured by the home being purchased. Buyers do not need to already be homeowners to apply, and Aven evaluates both the borrower and the home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, the product places a 30-year repayment term inside an open-end line of credit: the purchase balance is repaid at a fixed interest rate through fixed monthly payments, and the remaining available credit can still be used after closing.

Aven co-founder and CEO Sadi Khan said that they built Aven to make some of the hardest and most complex financial products an order of magnitude better for consumers. Buying a home involves many steps, and technology can make those steps faster, simpler and more efficient. With Aven Home Purchase Line, qualified buyers can tour homes on Sunday and get the keys the following Saturday. The company’s support page says that 7-day closing is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of appraisals and inspections, as well as how quickly applicants respond to information requests; federal law allows open-end home equity lines of credit to close faster than traditional closed-end mortgages.

Aven is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by Coastal Community Bank (Member FDIC, NMLS #462289). Aven NMLS #2042345. National Mortgage Professional reported, citing Forbes, that rates start at 6.24% APR, and the company has completed dozens of home purchase loans in 10 states, including California, Florida, Arizona and Ohio; the open-end structure means it does not qualify for purchase by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

ABAB AI Insight

After leaving Facebook in 2019, Sadi Khan founded Aven with Murtada Shah and Collin Wikman; he previously worked in product roles at Microsoft and Facebook, including Internet.org, Maps and Search. Aven began with Home Card, which combines a home equity line of credit with a Visa credit card, and shortened traditional HELOC approval to minutes through automated valuations and digital notarization. In September 2025, the company completed a $110 million Series E led by Khosla Ventures, valuing it at $2.2 billion. This Home Purchase Line extends the same machine-banking infrastructure from HELOCs for existing homeowners to home purchases, allowing non-homeowners to obtain an open-end line secured by the home being purchased.

In terms of product structure, the funds needed for a home purchase are repaid at a fixed interest rate through 30-year fixed monthly payments, and the remaining line can be reused within the first five years after closing, subject to available credit limits; the revolving portion carries a separate variable interest rate. Funding depends on institutional financing and private credit, including relationships with Goldman Sachs and a recent roughly $300 million HELOC securitization, rather than the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac secondary market. The open-end structure makes the loans ineligible for GSE purchase, but it also allows faster closing under federal rules than closed-end mortgages. The company has completed home purchase loans in multiple states, and the Tucson case took only 67 hours from application to closing.

Compared with digital HELOC platforms such as Figure or companies like Better that speed up processes in the home-buying market, Aven directly finances home purchases with an open-end line of credit rather than merely accelerating a traditional mortgage or refinancing for an existing homeowner. The similarity lies in using automated document verification and account linking to compress manual steps; the key difference is that Aven embeds reusable credit in the home purchase product while accepting the resulting liquidity constraint of not being able to access the institutional secondary market. Appraisals still take 2-3 days, and third-party steps such as title work and inspections may still affect actual speed.

If this structure can be replicated in more markets with closings approaching 7 days, the shift is in the time-based competition for home financing: in competitive bidding situations or markets where sellers prefer a quick close, shorter financing delays may improve a buyer’s negotiating position or probability of closing. Necessary conditions include cooperation from third parties such as appraisers and title companies, applicant responsiveness, and continued availability of private credit funding. The metrics to watch are the disclosed number of completed home purchase loans and the average days from application to closing, rather than only the company’s claimed fastest case.

ABAB News · Laws of cognition

  1. An open-end line-of-credit structure allows faster closing, but it also excludes GSE secondary-market liquidity.

  2. The shortest time from application to closing for home purchase financing remains constrained by appraisal and third-party response speed.

  3. Extending existing-homeowner HELOC infrastructure to non-homeowner home purchases changes the product entry point, not the funding cost itself.
