The Fontana market

Inside the Fontana mortgage market.

Fontana is one of the Inland Empire’s fastest-growing cities, functioning as a logistics and bedroom community for a workforce priced out of LA and Orange counties; appreciation tracks the broader Inland Empire, which lags the coast structurally.

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