Sunnyvale is a Silicon Valley city between Mountain View and Santa Clara, with a historic Murphy Avenue downtown, two Caltrain stations and quiet mid-century neighborhoods within a short commute of major technology campuses. We help Sunnyvale buyers and homeowners with jumbo purchase loans, condo and townhome financing, refinances and equity lines. Saving 20 percent for a home in Sunnyvale can take years, and most buyers do not need to.

Sunnyvale's combination of good schools and short commutes keeps demand high, and well-priced homes regularly draw multiple offers from dual-income technology households. Jumbo financing is standard for single-family homes, restricted stock and bonus income must be documented properly, and the city's many townhome communities are a common first purchase. Your down payment in Sunnyvale 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 includes 1950s and 60s ranch homes in Cherry Chase, Ponderosa Park, Birdland and Raynor Park, mid-century Eichler homes in Fairbrae, older bungalows in the Heritage District near Murphy Avenue, the Lakewood Village neighborhood to the north, and newer townhomes and condos near downtown. Buying in Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale 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.
