Redwood City is the San Mateo County seat, a Peninsula city with a revived downtown around Courthouse Square, a Caltrain stop and a long-standing claim to the best climate in the country. We help Redwood City buyers and homeowners with jumbo purchase loans, condo financing, refinances and equity lines. FHA loans help Redwood City buyers who have limited savings, a shorter credit history or a past credit event that conventional lenders will not overlook. With 3.5 percent down and flexible qualifying, an FHA loan often turns a buyer who was told to wait into a homeowner this year.

Redwood City attracts technology and healthcare professionals who want a real downtown and a central Peninsula commute, and jumbo financing is the rule for single-family homes. Many buyers rely on stock compensation, bonuses or a recent job offer to qualify, and the hillside lots of Emerald Hills bring their own appraisal and insurance considerations. The trade-off with FHA is mortgage insurance: an upfront premium financed into the loan and a monthly premium that stays for the life of the loan when you put less than 10 percent down. We compare that cost against conventional options for every Redwood City buyer so the decision is made on total cost, not just the down payment.

Housing includes older bungalows and cottages in Mount Carmel, Edgewood Park and the downtown neighborhoods, 1950s ranch homes in Woodside Plaza and Farm Hill, custom hillside homes in Emerald Hills, and waterfront condos, townhomes and lagoon homes in Redwood Shores. FHA appraisals in Redwood City include a property condition review, so peeling paint, safety issues or a damaged roof can require repairs before closing.
