Navigating Home Affordability in Sacramento | Challenges and Solutions
Buyer & Seller Series
Buyer & Seller Series
The Sacramento real estate market presents both opportunities and challenges for prospective homebuyers. Rising home prices, limited inventory, and economic fluctuations have made homeownership seem out of reach for many. However, with the right guidance and resources, achieving your dream of owning a home in Sacramento is attainable.
Challenges in Home Affordability
Rising Home Prices: Sacramento has experienced a steady appreciation in property values, making it increasingly difficult for first-time buyers to enter the market.
Limited Inventory: A shortage of available homes leads to increased competition, often resulting in bidding wars that drive prices higher.
Economic Factors: Fluctuations in interest rates and economic uncertainties can impact a buyer's purchasing power and confidence.
Assistance Programs to Bridge the Gap
To combat these challenges, several programs are available to assist homebuyers in California:
California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan: This program offers down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, providing a deferred-payment junior loan to help with down payment and/or closing costs.
MyHome Assistance Program: Offered by the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), this program provides a deferred-payment junior loan of up to 3.5% of the purchase price or appraised value to assist with down payment and/or closing costs.
CalHome Program: Provides grants to local public agencies and nonprofit corporations for first-time homebuyer and housing rehabilitation assistance, enabling low- and very low-income households to become or remain homeowners.
