California Home Loans - A Golden Opportunity!

The tremendous appeal - and cost - of California home loans

Make no bones about it, California has something for everyone.

Cosmopolitan cities, beautiful desert and ocean vistas, a booming economy and so much more. The drawback? Make no mistake about it, if you want to live in California, home loans are going to be a monster. Median home prices in many areas are more than half a million dollars - two and a half times what home loans cost in other parts of the land. It's easy to see how the overall price of California home loans would price many young professionals and families out of the market for home loans entirely.

Can you rise above this substantial roadblock? Is there truly a California home loan out there that fits snugly into your budget? Is there any way someone with an average income can get by with a California mortgage? Let us show you the way.

The expense of California home loans, and how to manage it

It can be a bit daunting if you dwell on it long enough. Rather than commiserate, consider the huge upside provided by today's mortgage rates. The kind of rates offered by many lenders in our network (under 6.0 percent for a 30-year loan, closer to 5.0 on a 15-year loan) are making even steeply-priced homes manageable for buyers. The perfect California home loans could be yours after all! Before you apply, be sure you have a handle on these issues:

  • The impact on your monthly payments that 15-year or 30-year California home loans may entail. A longer loan means lower monthly payments, but higher interest. A shorter loan could be paid off sooner, but can you afford it?
  • The other factors influencing the total cost of California home loans. These factors include broker's fees and closing costs, property taxes, routine maintenance, and mortgage insurance.
  • Whether a fixed-rate or an adjustable-rate mortgage is more appropriate. Both carry a different set of pros and cons, and should be weighed along with how long you plan to stay in that residence.
