🏡🤑"How much home can I actually afford?" — 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝟯𝘅 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.
Lenders calculate a debt-to-income ratio (DTI): your total monthly debts, including the new mortgage, compared to your gross income. Most programs cap that somewhere between 43-50%. Two people earning the same salary can qualify for very different purchase prices depending on their existing debt and down payment.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗲: the 2026 conforming loan limit is $1,249,125 — the highest ceiling the FHFA allows anywhere in the country. Borrow above that, and you're in jumbo territory, where the qualifying rules get stricter.

I broke down exactly how lenders run this math (and how to find your real number) on the blog: https://caliloanpro.com/blog/how-much-home-can-you-afford-santa-clara-county-2026

Every move starts with two very different jobs. Mine is the mortgage. Yours is everything else that makes a house feel like home. While I'm chasing down rate locks, coordinating with underwriters, tracking your closing timeline, and translating loan terms into plain English, you get to focus on the parts that actually matter to you, like finding the best coffee shop down the street and figuring out which local school or park will become part of your routine. A mortgage isn't just numbers on a page; it's the tool that gets you into a community you'll actually love living in. Ready to plant your roots? Let's talk mortgage. DM me today.

She'd done the math a hundred times. Looked at her savings, her credit score, the listings in her price range — and the numbers never seemed to add up. Every 'no' and every 'maybe next year' chipped away a little more at the idea that this was even possible for her. She almost stopped looking. Then one conversation changed everything. Turns out she didn't need 20% down. She didn't need perfect credit. She just needed someone to actually walk her through her options and build a plan around her numbers — not someone else's idea of 'ready.' Fast forward six months: she's holding the keys to a home that's actually hers. If you're in that same place right now -- close to giving up, convinced it's not in the cards for you -- I promise it's worth one conversation before you count yourself out. Let's see what's actually possible for you.

Found your next home but haven't sold your current one yet?

You've run into one of the most common timing problems in real estate — and in a competitive Santa Clara County market, sellers often won't accept an offer that depends on you selling your home first.

Bridge loans (and private-money financing) solve this: they let you tap your current home's equity to fund the down payment on your new place before your old one sells, so you can make a non-contingent offer. It costs more than a standard mortgage — you're paying for speed and flexibility, not a low rate — but for the right situation, it can be the difference between winning the home and losing it.

I broke down how it actually works, what it costs, and how it compares to a HELOC on the blog: https://caliloanpro.com/blog/bridge-private-money-financing-bay-area-2026

Weighing whether to buy before you sell? Let's run your real numbers.

August 26, 2026 -- Mortgage rates moved lower Tuesday as falling oil prices helped pull bond yields down. The shift followed reports of progress in peace negotiations through Pakistani mediators, which triggered a sharp decline in oil prices and helped improve conditions in the bond market. According to Mortgage News Daily, the move was enough to lower the average top-tier 30-year fixed mortgage rate by 4 basis points, bringing rates to their lowest level in nearly a week. While day-to-day rate movements can change quickly, the decline offered some welcome relief after recent upward pressure. If you're considering buying a home or refinancing, let's look at today's mortgage options and see what makes sense for your goals.

"Can my parents just give me the down payment?"

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿: yes, in most cases — and it's more common than you'd think here in the Bay Area. Most conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans let gift funds cover 100% of your down payment on a primary residence.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘦: jumbo loans (which cover a huge share of Santa Clara County purchases) often work a little differently. Many jumbo programs want to see you contribute some of the down payment from your own funds first, and gift money generally can't count toward the cash reserves you'll need to hold after closing.

𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 — it just means the plan needs to be mapped out before the gift shows up, not after. I broke down exactly how it works by loan type on the blog:

You're not alone. Right now, about 1 in 5 active buyers are "comeback buyers" — people who stepped back from house hunting and are jumping back in. And if you're one of them, the market you're returning to isn't quite the one you left.

If you're thinking about restarting your search, don't just pick up where you left off. Start by refreshing your pre-approval — your numbers may look different than they did before, and rates have shifted since you paused.
