Citrus Heights is an established Sacramento County city along the Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane corridors, and its mid-century neighborhoods make it one of the most accessible places to buy a home in the area. We help Citrus Heights buyers and homeowners with purchase loans, refinances and equity lines. Many Citrus Heights buyers have the income to afford a monthly mortgage payment but not the savings for a down payment and closing costs. Down payment assistance programs exist for exactly that gap, and Pacific National Lending works with CalHFA-participating lenders on the programs most Citrus Heights buyers use.

Citrus Heights is a value-driven market where first-time buyers, FHA and VA borrowers and small investors compete for solid 1950s to 70s homes on good-sized lots. Homeowners who bought years ago often have significant equity, which makes cash-out refinances and HELOCs popular here. For Citrus Heights buyers, CalHFA's MyHome Assistance Program provides a deferred-payment junior loan of up to 3.5 percent of the purchase price or appraised value on FHA loans (3 percent on conventional) for down payment or closing costs, with no monthly payment until the home is sold, refinanced or paid off. It pairs with CalHFA FHA, VA, USDA and conventional first mortgages.
