Novato is Marin County's northernmost city, with a small-town Old Town along Grant Avenue, oak-covered hills and the redeveloped Hamilton neighborhood on the former Air Force base. We help Novato buyers and homeowners with high-balance and jumbo purchase loans, refinances, reverse mortgages and equity lines. A VA loan in Novato lets eligible veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members and certain surviving spouses buy a home with zero down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. Pacific National Lending is proud to broker VA loans through multiple VA-approved lenders for military families across Novato.

Novato is the most attainable entry point into Marin County, which brings in move-up families from Sonoma County and buyers priced out of southern Marin. Even so, most purchases require high-balance conforming or jumbo financing, and the city's many condo and townhome communities need a lender who checks HOA approval before an offer is written. VA loans in Novato do not require a down payment on purchases within the veteran's available entitlement, and with full entitlement there is no VA-imposed loan limit, which matters in higher-priced neighborhoods. Lenders still qualify on income, credit and residual income, and we know which VA lenders are most flexible.

Housing includes 1950s to 70s ranch homes in central Novato and San Marin, newer homes and townhomes at Hamilton and Pointe Marin, golf-course homes around Marin Country Club, wooded lots in Indian Valley and Pacheco Valle, and waterfront homes in Bel Marin Keys. VA loans can be used more than once, and remaining entitlement can even allow a veteran who already owns a VA-financed home to buy another in Novato. We review your entitlement and explain exactly what you can do with it.
