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. Shopping for a home loan in Sausalito means more than finding the lowest advertised rate. Points, lender fees, mortgage insurance and the loan program itself all change what you actually pay, and PNL lays those numbers out side by side so you can make a confident choice.

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. Conventional loans in Sausalito start at 3 percent down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5 percent down with more flexible credit, VA offers zero down for eligible veterans and service members, and jumbo loans cover purchases above the conforming loan limit for Marin County. We walk you through each option with real payment figures.

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. We have closed home loans on nearly every kind of Sausalito 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.
If your credit, income or down payment is not quite where it needs to be, we will tell you exactly what would change the outcome and how long it might take, and then we will keep in touch. Many of our Sausalito clients started with a plan six months before they bought.
