Who can help me get a mortgage in Sandy, UT?
Choice Home Mortgage can. We arrange Sandy home loans through licensed partner brokers in Utah and coordinate each Sandy file ourselves; our own license is California's (NMLS #2629064). Owner Esther Buede coordinates it personally, and we compare many lenders for it.
For 2026, a one-unit Sandy home can carry a conforming loan of up to $832,750, the Salt Lake County limit FHFA sets, and we check where your Sandy price falls before you write an offer. The whole process runs by phone and online.
Inside the Sandy mortgage market.
Sandy sits at the southern end of the Salt Lake Valley with direct Wasatch access — minutes from Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and world-class ski terrain; its family character, strong schools, and lower prices than denser Salt Lake City make it a consistent move-up destination for Wasatch Front equity buyers.
That’s the Sandy backdrop the loan has to fit. Sandy follows Salt Lake County’s national-baseline limit for 2026: $832,750 on a one-unit Sandy home. Since typical Sandy prices stay under $832,750, a Sandy buyer keeps conventional, FHA, and VA all in play. Sandy itself prices solidly middle-of-market. FHFA publishes the 2026 schedule; we’ll square your numbers against it.

What Sandy buyers ask us first.
What loan size keeps a Sandy mortgage conforming?
$832,750 is the 2026 conforming limit for a single-family home in Sandy, based on FHFA's figure for Salt Lake County. That is the national baseline with no high-cost adjustment, so a loan above $832,750 is a jumbo loan. A two-unit property in Salt Lake County can borrow up to $1,066,250 and stay conforming.
Which programs fit Sandy first-time buyers?
Conventional, FHA and VA loans fit most first-time buyers in Sandy, and the right one depends on your credit score and down payment. Some conventional programs accept 3% down from first-time buyers. An FHA loan on one unit in Salt Lake County can go to $637,100 in 2026 (HUD).
Does it matter where in Sandy I'm buying?
No, not for the financing: we finance homes anywhere in Sandy, including Dimple Dell, Pepperwood, Bell Canyon and Historic Sandy. What changes from one neighborhood to the next is the price and the appraisal, since the appraiser compares recent sales nearby. Licensed partner brokers originate loans across Dimple Dell and Historic Sandy, and we coordinate them by phone and online.
Do you work with Sandy, UT buyers?
Yes. We work with Sandy buyers through licensed partner brokers who hold the Utah license, and we coordinate each file. Choice Home Mortgage is licensed in California (NMLS #2629064) and has no Sandy office, so the application, documents and updates run by phone and online. Owner Esther Buede coordinates the file, and many lenders compete for it.
Can you help outside Sandy too?
Yes. Our coverage goes past Sandy to Riverton, South Jordan and Draper. Loan limits are set county by county, so the limit is re-checked for whichever town the home is in. Licensed partner brokers originate those loans and Choice Home Mortgage coordinates them, the same way as a Sandy file.
Do I ever need to visit an office for my Sandy loan?
No. A Sandy loan runs by phone and online, and Choice Home Mortgage has no local office to visit. A licensed partner broker in Utah originates the loan, and Choice Home Mortgage (California NMLS #2629064) coordinates it and compares many lenders. Owner Esther Buede is your point of contact from the first call to closing.
