Livermore is the easternmost city in the Tri-Valley, home to one of California's oldest wine regions, two national laboratories and a lively downtown along First Street. We help Livermore buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, FHA and VA financing, refinances and equity lines. A low down payment mortgage in Livermore lets buyers get into a home with far less cash than the traditional 20 percent. Conventional loans start at 3 percent down, FHA at 3.5 percent, and VA and USDA at zero down for eligible borrowers. Pacific National Lending compares all of them for Livermore buyers and shows the true monthly cost of each.

Livermore offers a little more value than Pleasanton and Dublin, which attracts first-time and move-up buyers, laboratory scientists and engineers, and commuters who want to stay on the Bay Area side of the Altamont Pass. Most loans are high-balance conforming or jumbo, and the vineyard estates of South Livermore call for experience with larger lots and custom homes. Conventional 3 percent down programs like HomeReady and Home Possible offer reduced mortgage insurance for moderate-income Livermore 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 early-1900s homes near downtown, 1950s to 70s neighborhoods such as the Jensen Tract, Sunset and Springtown, 1990s-and-newer subdivisions on the south and north sides, and custom homes among the vineyards of South Livermore. Buying in Livermore 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.
