Napa is the county seat and the largest city in the Napa Valley, with a revived riverfront downtown, the Oxbow district and neighborhoods that run from Victorian Old Town to the vineyards of Coombsville. We help Napa buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, second-home and investment financing. For many first-time buyers in Napa, an FHA loan is the difference between renting another year and owning. Pacific National Lending explains exactly how FHA works, including the mortgage insurance, so you can decide with real numbers whether FHA or a low-down-payment conventional loan is the better fit.

Napa is a high-demand market where local wine and hospitality workers, Bay Area transplants and second-home buyers compete for limited inventory, and many purchases land in high-balance or jumbo territory. Second homes and rentals carry their own down payment and qualifying rules, and properties on the valley's edges can raise wildfire insurance questions that are best handled early. FHA loans in Napa require a minimum 3.5 percent down payment with a 580 or higher credit score, and the down payment can come from savings, a gift from family or an approved down payment assistance program. Sellers can also contribute toward closing costs, which keeps cash to close manageable in this market.

Housing includes Victorians and bungalows in Old Town and Fuller Park, mid-century neighborhoods in Bel Aire and Alta Heights, larger homes in Browns Valley, golf-course homes and condos around Silverado, and vineyard estates in Coombsville. FHA loans are not only for first-time buyers. Move-up buyers, buyers rebuilding credit after a hardship and buyers with student loan debt all use FHA in Napa, and an FHA loan can later be refinanced into a conventional loan to drop mortgage insurance once equity allows.
Buyers in Napa using FHA can often combine it with CalHFA or local down payment assistance to cover part or all of the 3.5 percent down. We check every first-time buyer's eligibility for assistance before finalizing the loan structure.
Pacific National Lending serves Old Town Napa, Fuller Park, Browns Valley, Alta Heights and the rest of Napa for FHA loans. Napa is about an hour and fifteen minutes from our Gold River office via I-80 and Highway 12.
