Galt is the southernmost city in Sacramento County, a Highway 99 town between Elk Grove and Lodi known for its Old Town, the weekly Galt Market and the farmland that still surrounds it. We help Galt buyers and homeowners with FHA, VA, USDA, conventional and equity financing. Saving 20 percent for a home in Galt can take years, and most buyers do not need to. Pacific National Lending helps Galt buyers use low down payment programs, gift funds, seller credits and assistance programs to close with a fraction of what they expected.

Galt gives buyers noticeably more house for the money than Elk Grove, which draws first-time buyers, Sacramento and Stockton commuters and families who want a small-town feel. Properties on the edges of town and in nearby Herald often sit on acreage with wells and septic systems, and some addresses are worth checking for USDA zero-down eligibility. Conventional 3 percent down programs like HomeReady and Home Possible offer reduced mortgage insurance for moderate-income Galt buyers, and standard conventional loans allow 3 to 5 percent down with private mortgage insurance that can be canceled once you reach 20 percent equity.

Housing includes older homes around Old Town and Lincoln Way, 1990s and 2000s subdivisions on the east and north sides of town, newer construction near Twin Cities Road, and ranchettes and acreage toward Herald and the Dry Creek bottomlands. Buying in Galt with a small down payment means mortgage insurance for a while, and we plan for its removal from day one. Conventional PMI drops off automatically as equity builds, and FHA loans can be refinanced into conventional loans once the home has appreciated.
First-time buyers in Galt 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.
Pacific National Lending serves Old Town Galt, Lincoln Way corridor, Twin Cities Road, Carillion Boulevard and the rest of Galt for low down payment mortgages. Galt is about forty minutes from our Gold River office via Highway 99.
