Sausalito sits just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, a hillside town of bay-view homes above a working waterfront and the famous floating-home docks of Richardson Bay. We help Sausalito buyers and homeowners with jumbo, second-home and condo financing, refinances and equity lines. Down payment assistance in Sausalito can cover a large share of the cash needed to buy a home, and Pacific National Lending helps buyers find and use the programs they qualify for. From CalHFA's statewide MyHome assistance to county and city programs, we layer assistance with FHA, VA or conventional financing to reduce cash to close.

Sausalito is a small, very high-priced market where almost every loan is a jumbo and many buyers are purchasing a second home or a pied-a-terre close to the city. Hillside construction, condo project reviews and view-driven valuations all affect the appraisal, and floating homes require specialized financing that works differently from a standard mortgage. Beyond CalHFA, Sausalito buyers may have access to local programs through the county, the city or housing agencies, plus lender-funded grants and employer assistance. Programs open and close as funding changes, so we check availability at the time you are ready to buy.

Housing includes historic homes and cottages in Old Town and on The Hill, mid-century and contemporary view homes toward Wolfback Ridge, condos and townhomes in New Town and along Bridgeway, and the floating homes at Waldo Point Harbor. Assistance loans add a few steps to the closing, such as program approval and homebuyer education, and we manage all of them. Most Sausalito purchases using CalHFA assistance close in about 30 to 35 days, and we set expectations with your agent and the seller from the start.
Repeat buyers in Sausalito 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.
Our down payment assistance clients in Sausalito come from Old Town, The Hill, New Town, Bridgeway and every other part of southern Marin County. Sausalito is roughly two hours from our Gold River office, and we handle Sausalito loans entirely by phone, email and e-signature.
