You are allowed to deduct the points in 2019. When you are obtaining a mortgage loan by paying off a construction loan you are not considered to be refinancing the loan.
The new mortgage is your primary mortgage loan. If you refinance this loan and pay points, you will be required to amortize the points over the life of the loan.
