Gilroy, CA

Gilroy home loans, built for Gilroy's market.

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

The Gilroy market

What financing a Gilroy home really takes.

Gilroy sits at the southern end of Santa Clara County — Silicon Valley’s most affordable access point within the county’s high-cost zone; its median represents a discount to San Jose while buyers still qualify for high-balance conforming rather than jumbo, and a long-standing food-processing and logistics base complements 101-corridor tech commuters.

That market shapes the loan. Because Santa Clara County is a high-cost area, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is $1,249,125 — above the national baseline. So many Gilroy 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.
