San Mateo sits midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, with a busy downtown around Central Park, three Caltrain stations and neighborhoods that run from the bay shore up into the western hills. We help San Mateo buyers and homeowners with jumbo purchase loans, condo financing, refinances and equity lines. Pacific National Lending provides home loans in San Mateo for every kind of buyer: first-timers, move-up families, relocating professionals, veterans and investors. As a mortgage broker, we compare conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and jumbo programs across multiple lenders and recommend the one that costs you the least over the time you plan to own the home.

San Mateo is a high-priced, fast-moving market where technology and biotech professionals compete for limited inventory and nearly every single-family purchase is a jumbo loan. Condos and townhomes, including the newer Bay Meadows community, are the entry point for many buyers, which makes HOA and project review an important early step. The loan program that fits an San Mateo purchase often depends on the property as much as the borrower. Condos need lender-approved projects, older homes must meet FHA and VA condition standards, and rural parcels may qualify for USDA financing. We check these details before you write an offer, not after.

Housing includes 1920s and 30s period homes in San Mateo Park, Baywood and Aragon, bungalows in Hayward Park, 1950s ranch homes in Hillsdale, Beresford and Shoreview, hillside homes in Laurelwood, and new homes and condos at Bay Meadows. We have closed home loans on nearly every kind of San Mateo property, so we know which lenders are comfortable with which homes and how to keep an appraisal or a condition request from delaying your closing. Most purchase loans fund in about three weeks from an accepted offer.
