Although the funds for the CalHFA down payment program have already been accounted for, I wanted to show an example of how it works and explain what it could mean for you if this program is available again.
Borrower is a CalHFA income homebuyer
• Dream For All provides a loan for 20% of the home purchase price.
• The homeowner pays back the original loan amount plus 20% of any appreciation in the value of the home. Source: California Housing Agency, https://www.calhfa.ca.gov/dream/index.htm
For some buyers in Santa Barbara, it takes a while to save up for a down payment (or if possibly, get help from family). With our low inventory, I wouldn’t get pre-approved, I would get fully approved from a lender - it will make your offer more competitive against all cash offers. Lastly, I would prioritize your wants vs. needs list and areas of Santa Barbara that are in your budget.
