Where do Westminster buyers find a mortgage broker?
A Westminster buyer can work with Choice Home Mortgage, a California mortgage broker licensed under NMLS #2629064 and CA DRE #01822046. We have been family-owned since 2005, we compare many lenders on each Westminster loan, and owner Esther Buede runs the file personally.
The 2026 conforming limit for a one-unit Westminster home is $1,249,125 (Orange County, per FHFA). We start every Westminster file by placing the price against that number, then handle the application, documents and updates by phone and online.
What financing a Westminster home really takes.
Westminster’s owner-occupant demand is anchored by Little Saigon — the largest Vietnamese-American commercial district in the country — drawing buyers with strong intergenerational wealth-transfer and community-proximity motivations; Orange County’s high-cost ceiling covers a meaningful share of the market.
Those Westminster realities set the strategy. High-cost Orange County gives Westminster purchases a $1,249,125 conforming limit — extra 2026 headroom on Westminster homes. Plenty of Westminster purchases cross that $1,249,125 threshold, so the right high-balance or jumbo structure is routine Westminster work for us. As a market, Westminster runs above the national norm — consistent with Orange County’s high-cost status. Source: FHFA 2026 limits. We’ll verify your numbers.

Real questions from Westminster buyers.
Where does the Westminster conforming loan limit sit for 2026?
The 2026 conforming loan limit for a one-unit home in Westminster is $1,249,125, the figure FHFA set for Orange County. Because Orange County is high-cost, its limit sits above the $832,750 national baseline; a loan in that gap is called high-balance and is still conforming. A two-unit property in Orange County can borrow up to $1,599,375 and stay conforming.
Is a jumbo loan the norm for Westminster purchases?
The loan amount decides it: a Westminster loan above $1,249,125 is jumbo, and at or below that figure it stays conforming. A loan between the $832,750 national baseline and $1,249,125 is high-balance conforming in Orange County. Your file goes to many lenders, and you see their offers side by side.
Do you cover all of Westminster?
Yes, we cover all of Westminster, including Little Saigon/Bolsa corridor, Westminster Village, Barber City and Central Westminster. The neighborhood affects the appraisal, which compares recent nearby sales, but the loan terms come from your credit, income and down payment. Loans from Little Saigon/Bolsa corridor to Central Westminster go through owner Esther Buede, by phone and online.
Do you actually know the Westminster market?
Yes. A one-unit Westminster home has a $1,249,125 conforming limit for 2026, the FHA limit there is $1,249,125, and every file we take starts from those figures. We are a family-owned California mortgage broker (NMLS #2629064, CA DRE #01822046), and we compare many lenders on every loan.
