Daly City borders San Francisco at the top of the Peninsula, known for the rows of pastel mid-century homes in Westlake, two BART stations and quick access to I-280 and Highway 1. We help Daly City buyers and homeowners with high-balance and jumbo purchase loans, FHA and VA financing, refinances and equity lines. Saving 20 percent for a home in Daly City can take years, and most buyers do not need to.

Daly City gives buyers a San Francisco-adjacent address at lower prices than the city itself, and many purchases involve multigenerational households pooling income, gift funds or family co-borrowers. Loan amounts usually land in high-balance conforming or jumbo range, and homes with in-law units need a lender who knows how appraisers and underwriters treat them. Your down payment in Daly City can come from savings, a gift from a relative, a 401(k) loan, the sale of assets or a down payment assistance program. We document each source correctly so underwriting goes smoothly, and we show you how the choice affects your rate and mortgage insurance.

Housing is mostly 1940s to 60s single-family homes built close together in Westlake, Serramonte, St. Francis Heights and the Crocker and Hillside neighborhoods, with condos and townhomes near Serramonte and a few newer infill developments. Cash to close is more than the down payment. Closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, and reserves all matter, and Pacific National Lending builds a complete estimate for every Daly City buyer so there are no surprises. Seller credits and lender credits can cover much of the closing costs when structured correctly.
First-time buyers in Daly City can often layer CalHFA's MyHome assistance or local programs on top of a low down payment loan, reducing cash to close even further. We check eligibility for every buyer who might qualify.
