Who can help me get a mortgage in Cypress, CA?
Choice Home Mortgage arranges home loans for Cypress buyers and homeowners. We are a licensed California mortgage broker (NMLS #2629064, CA DRE #01822046), family-owned since 2005, and owner Esther Buede works every Cypress file from the first call to closing.

What financing a Cypress home really takes.
Cypress sits in northwestern Orange County between the 405 and 22 freeways, offering a dense suburban footprint with shorter commutes to Long Beach, Anaheim, and the South Bay than most coastal OC; its older 1960s-70s tract stock on ADU-friendly lots makes it a structural value within one of the nation’s highest-cost metros.
Financing follows that Cypress math. High-cost Orange County gives Cypress purchases a $1,249,125 conforming limit — extra 2026 headroom on Cypress homes. So many Cypress buyers use high-balance or jumbo financing — knowing where a Cypress purchase lands against that $1,249,125 line is half the work. Cypress itself prices above the national norm, which is part of why Orange County carries a high-cost designation. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.

What Cypress buyers ask us first.
What's the 2026 conforming loan limit in Cypress?
$1,249,125 is the 2026 conforming limit for a single-family home in Cypress, based on FHFA's figure for Orange County. Orange County is a high-cost area, so a loan between the $832,750 national baseline and $1,249,125 is high-balance conforming, and anything above $1,249,125 is jumbo. A two-unit property in Orange County can borrow up to $1,599,375 and stay conforming.
How do Cypress buyers finance above the conforming limit?
Cypress buyers who need more than $1,249,125 (the 2026 Orange County limit) use a jumbo loan, or put more down so the loan stays under it. High-balance conforming covers loans from $832,750 up to $1,249,125 in Orange County. Your file goes to many lenders, and you see their offers side by side.
