Palo Alto is the birthplace of Silicon Valley, a leafy city next to Stanford University with a walkable University Avenue downtown and some of the most valuable residential streets in the country. We help Palo Alto buyers and homeowners with jumbo and super-jumbo purchase loans, refinances and equity financing. A refinance is only worth doing when the math works, and Pacific National Lending starts every Palo Alto refinance conversation with the numbers: the new rate, the closing costs, how many months it takes to recover those costs, and what you save over the time you expect to keep the home.

Palo Alto purchases routinely require loan amounts well beyond ordinary jumbo limits, and buyers are often founders, executives, physicians and professors with stock-heavy compensation or substantial assets. Qualifying on restricted stock, business income or asset-based programs takes a broker with access to many jumbo lenders, which is exactly how we work. A rate-and-term refinance in Palo Alto replaces your current loan with a new one at a better rate or different term, while a cash-out refinance increases the loan balance and pays the difference to you at closing. Cash-out loans typically allow borrowing up to 80 percent of the home's value on a conventional loan.

Housing includes historic homes in Professorville, Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park, bungalows in College Terrace and Downtown North, mid-century Eichler homes in Greenmeadow and Midtown, and larger lots in Barron Park. Our refinance process in Palo Alto takes about three to four weeks from application to funding. You will receive a written estimate, we will lock the rate when it makes sense, order the appraisal and handle underwriting conditions, and you sign with a mobile notary at your convenience.
Refinancing can also shorten your term. Moving from a 30-year to a 15- or 20-year loan raises the payment but can save a large amount of interest, and many Palo Alto homeowners nearing retirement choose this path to own the home free and clear sooner.
Our mortgage refinancing clients in Palo Alto come from Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Crescent Park, Midtown and every other part of Silicon Valley. Palo Alto is a little over two hours from our Gold River office, and we handle Silicon Valley loans entirely by phone, email and e-signature.
Call Pacific National Lending at (916) 526-2700 or start your application online. We will review your goals, explain your options in plain English and give you real numbers for mortgage refinancing in Palo Alto.
