Lodi is a northern San Joaquin County city on Highway 99 surrounded by old-vine Zinfandel vineyards, with a walkable downtown on School Street behind the historic Lodi Arch. We help Lodi buyers and homeowners with purchase loans, refinances, equity lines and financing for vineyard-area properties. Many Lodi 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 Lodi buyers use.

Lodi appeals to buyers who want a small-city downtown and wine-country surroundings at Central Valley prices, including Sacramento and Stockton commuters, first-time buyers and retirees. In-town homes fit conventional, FHA and VA programs well, while country properties among the vineyards need a lender who understands acreage, wells and agricultural surroundings. For Lodi 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.

Housing ranges from early-1900s bungalows near downtown and Lodi Lake to 1960s to 90s neighborhoods on the west side, newer construction at Reynolds Ranch and Rose Gate, and homes on acreage toward Woodbridge and Lockeford. Down payment assistance in Lodi works best with a lender who uses it regularly. We know the program guidelines, the documentation and the timing, which keeps the transaction smooth and protects your offer.
Repeat buyers in Lodi are not always excluded. Some programs waive the first-time buyer requirement in targeted areas or for veterans, and gift funds from family can be used alongside assistance. We look at every angle.
