The Chino market

Inside the Chino mortgage market.

Chino occupies the western edge of the Inland Empire at the SR-60/SR-71 crossroads, giving freeway access to both LA and Orange County job markets at a price structurally below either county’s limit — an affordability wedge driven by geography; master-planned communities like The Preserve attract families seeking newer construction at IE prices.

That market shapes the loan. In San Bernardino County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Chino purchases sit comfortably under that $832,750 line, which keeps conventional, FHA, and FHA options on the table. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
