Newcastle is a small Placer County foothill community along Taylor Road and I-80 between Loomis and Auburn, once the heart of the region's fruit-shipping industry. We help Newcastle buyers and homeowners with financing for acreage, custom homes and rural properties. Down payment assistance is one of the most underused tools in the Newcastle market. Buyers assume they do not qualify or that the programs are too complicated, when in reality a first-time buyer with steady income and reasonable credit is often eligible for thousands of dollars in help.

Newcastle buyers are typically looking for a few acres, a view and a quiet road, and many properties include wells, septic systems, barns or second units. That calls for a lender who understands rural appraisals and can structure conventional, jumbo or USDA financing around the property. To use most assistance programs in Newcastle, you must be a first-time buyer, meaning no ownership interest in a home in the past three years, occupy the home as your primary residence, complete a homebuyer education course and stay within the program's income limits for Placer County.
Get Pre-approved
Housing is mostly custom and semi-custom homes on one-to-ten-acre parcels along Indian Hill Road, Ridge Road and Rattlesnake Road, with older homes near the historic Newcastle townsite. Our process for Newcastle buyers using assistance starts with a standard pre-approval, then a review of every program you qualify for. We show you the combined loan structure, the total monthly payment and the cash to close with and without assistance, so you can choose with clear numbers.
