Citrus Heights is an established Sacramento County city along the Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane corridors, and its mid-century neighborhoods make it one of the most accessible places to buy a home in the area. We help Citrus Heights buyers and homeowners with purchase loans, refinances and equity lines. Most first-time buyers in Citrus Heights have the same questions: how much can I afford, how much do I need saved, and what will the payment be. Pacific National Lending answers all three with real numbers at the very first conversation, with no credit pull and no obligation.

Citrus Heights is a value-driven market where first-time buyers, FHA and VA borrowers and small investors compete for solid 1950s to 70s homes on good-sized lots. Homeowners who bought years ago often have significant equity, which makes cash-out refinances and HELOCs popular here. The loan program that fits a first-time buyer in Citrus Heights depends on credit score, savings, income and the type of home. FHA is forgiving on credit, conventional loans reward stronger scores with cheaper mortgage insurance, and VA and USDA eliminate the down payment entirely for eligible buyers.

Housing is mostly single-family ranch homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s around Sunrise Mall, Rusch Park and Sylvan Old Auburn Road, with pockets of 1980s and 90s homes and townhomes. Our first-time buyer process in Citrus Heights is designed to remove confusion: a short application, a document checklist, an underwritten pre-approval, then appraisal and closing. Your loan officer explains each step before it happens and answers every question along the way.
If you are not quite ready, we will tell you what to work on and check back in. Many Citrus Heights first-time buyers started with a credit or savings plan from us six to twelve months before they bought.
