Explore Different Types of Mortgages for Buying or Refinancing in California
California’s housing market may be hot, but home loans are cool–especially when you partner with Greater Nevada Mortgage to find the best mortgage. We offer many different loan products because we know not all homeowners are exactly alike, and the best way to get started is to submit your mortgage application.
If you’re buying a home in California, be sure to ask our consultants about jumbo mortgages. Jumbo loans exceed Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) conforming loan limits and are often necessary to purchase a home in California. So it’s worth the time to explore all possible options.
Fixed Rate Mortgages
Fixed rate mortgages have the same interest rates and monthly payments for the duration of your loan. This predictable loan type is great if you’re purchasing a “forever home.”
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
Adjustable rate mortgages are 30-year loans with interest rates that change with the market. After the introductory period, your rate will go up or down based on rate changes–a good choice if you only plan to live in your home for a few years.
Jumbo Loans
Jumbo loans are home loans that exceed conforming loan limits. If the property you wish to buy is high-value, you’ll very likely need one of these types of loans.
FHA Loans
FHA loans are loans that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. They’re great for buyers with lower credit scores, or buyers putting down a smaller-than-usual down payment.
USDA Loans
USDA loans are loans that are insured by the United States Department of Agriculture. With low mortgage insurance requirements and no money down, they’re good choices if you want to buy a home in a rural area.
VA Loans
Veterans, active-duty personnel and surviving spouses may qualify for VA loans, which require no down payments and offer lower interest rates.
Doctor/Physician Loans
If you’re in medical school or close to graduating, reduce your debt load by qualifying for a lower down payment loan.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
If you have equity in your home, a line of credit can let you easily tap into your property’s value.

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. APR is the cost to borrow money expressed as a yearly percentage. For mortgage loans, excluding home equity lines of credit, it includes the interest rate plus other charges or fees.
Rates and terms are subject to change without notice. Rates are for illustrative purposes only, and assumes a borrower with a credit score of 700 or higher which may be higher or lower than your individual credit score. Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans are subject to interest rate, APR, and payment increase after each change period. For instance, a 5/5 ARM means that you will pay a fixed rate for the first five years of the loan, and then your rate is subject to change once every five years thereafter through the remainder of the loan. Interest rates and APRs are based on current market rates, and may be subject to pricing add-ons related to property type, loan amount, loan-to-value, credit score and other variables. Depending on loan guidelines, mortgage insurance may be required. If mortgage insurance is required, the mortgage insurance premium could increase the APR and the monthly mortgage payment. Your loan’s interest rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of your loan transaction and your credit history up to the time of closing. The estimated total closing costs in these rate scenarios are not a substitute for a Loan Estimate, which includes an estimate of closing costs, which you will receive once you apply for a loan. Actual fees, costs and monthly payment on your specific loan transaction may vary, and may include city, county or other additional fees and costs. Not all loan options are available in every state. Borrower is responsible for any property taxes as a condition of the loan. Membership with Greater Nevada Credit Union is required for select loan options. This is not a credit decision or a commitment to lend.
