Frequently asked questions

What does the home buying process look like for a first-time buyer in California?

Stephanie’s answer

For a Pittsburg buyer, it starts before the first showing: get pre-approved with a CalHFA-experienced lender and finish the required homebuyer course. On a $430,000 starter home, MyHome may provide about $12,900, but you still need cash for inspections and closing gaps. After acceptance, allow 30–45 days for appraisal, title and final underwriting.
