Daly City, CA

Daly City home loans, built for Daly City's market.

From high-balance and jumbo financing to move-up and refinance, we structure the loan around Daly City's price points — not a one-size template.

The Daly City market

What financing a Daly City home really takes.

Daly City sits at the northern tip of San Mateo County adjacent to San Francisco, with two BART stations giving direct rail access to downtown SF and SFO — a structural location advantage; its post-WWII Westlake tract houses are among the lowest-cost single-family entries in a BART-connected SF commute shed.

That market shapes the loan. Because San Mateo County is a high-cost area, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is $1,249,125 — above the national baseline. So many Daly City buyers use high-balance or jumbo financing — and knowing exactly where your purchase lands against that $1,249,125 line is half the work. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
