Who can help me get a mortgage in Mountain View, CA?
Choice Home Mortgage arranges home loans for Mountain View 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 Mountain View file from the first call to closing.

Mountain View home loans, the honest version.
Mountain View is the headquarters of Google/Alphabet and anchors one of the world’s densest concentrations of tech employment, giving it structural demand immunity from most cycles; its Caltrain + VTA transit spine makes it a primary landing market for tech workers, with median values that make jumbo lending the norm.
That Mountain View market shapes the loan. High-cost Santa Clara County gives Mountain View purchases a $1,249,125 conforming limit — extra 2026 headroom on Mountain View homes. Plenty of Mountain View purchases cross that $1,249,125 threshold, so the right high-balance or jumbo structure is routine Mountain View work for us. Mountain View’s price tier is among the priciest in California, the same reality behind Santa Clara County’s high-cost limit. Per FHFA’s 2026 schedule — we’ll check your exact numbers.

Mountain View mortgage questions, answered.
How high can a conforming loan go in Mountain View?
A conforming loan on a one-unit Mountain View home can go up to $1,249,125 in 2026, which is FHFA's limit for Santa Clara County. High-cost status lifts the Santa Clara County limit above the $832,750 national baseline, so a loan sized between the two is high-balance conforming.
How do Mountain View buyers finance above the conforming limit?
Mountain View buyers who need more than $1,249,125 (the 2026 Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara County. We put the loan in front of many lenders and compare what comes back.
Which Mountain View neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them, from Castro City to Old Mountain View; the rest of Mountain View is covered too. Prices shift from street to street, and the appraisal follows recent nearby sales; the loan terms follow your credit, income and down payment.
