CalHFA Loan Rates

CalHFA Loan rates change daily — and the rate you’re quoted depends as much on who’s quoting as on the market. Banks quote their own rate sheet; CDL Mortgage shops multiple wholesale lenders on every calhfa loan and shows you the best pricing across the market.

The fastest way to know your real rate is a quick scenario quote: your credit range, loan amount, and property details. We’ll price it across our lender panel the same day, with no credit pull required for an initial quote.

What determines your calhfa loan rate

  • Credit score — higher scores unlock the best calhfa loan pricing tiers; even a 20-point improvement can change your rate.

  • Down payment / equity — a lower loan-to-value means less lender risk and better pricing.

  • Loan amount & property type — loan sizing and single-family vs. condo or multi-unit both affect your rate.

  • Occupancy — primary residences price better than second homes and investment properties.

  • Points & credits — pay discount points for a lower rate, or take a lender credit toward closing costs.

  • Lock timing — rates move daily; we watch the market and lock when the timing is right for you.

Questions

CalHFA Loans FAQs

What is a CalHFA loan?

CalHFA (California Housing Finance Agency) programs pair a first mortgage with down payment and closing cost assistance for low-to-moderate income first-time buyers in California. The MyHome Assistance Program provides a deferred-payment junior loan of up to 3.5% of the purchase price or appraised value.

Who qualifies for CalHFA assistance?

You generally must be a first-time homebuyer (no ownership in the last 3 years), occupy the home as your primary residence, meet county income limits, and complete a homebuyer education course. We’ll check your county’s income limit and walk you through every requirement.

Do I have to repay the down payment assistance?

The MyHome junior loan is deferred — no monthly payments are required. It’s repaid when you sell, refinance, or pay off the first mortgage. This lets you get into a home now without draining your savings.

Can CalHFA be combined with FHA or conventional loans?

Yes. CalHFA assistance layers on top of an FHA or conventional first mortgage. We’ll compare the CalHFA FHA and CalHFA conventional options side by side to find your lowest total monthly payment.

Is CalHFA available outside California?

No — CalHFA is a California-only program. If you’re buying in another state we serve, ask us about that state’s bond and down payment assistance programs, along with FHA and VA low-down-payment options.
