Pleasanton is one of the East Bay's most competitive move-up markets, and with prices well above the conforming limit, jumbo financing is the norm. Buyers are typically dual-income professionals with BART or I-680 commutes, and long-time owners with large equity positions often use HELOCs or cash-out refinances for remodels and investments. To use most assistance programs in Pleasanton, 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 Alameda County.
