Quick Answers, Clear Next Steps

How long does buying a home usually take in Santa Clarita?+
From offer to close is commonly 30–45 days with financing. All-cash can be faster. Timeline depends on appraisal, inspections, and your lender’s turn times.
How much down payment do I need?+
Conventional loans can start around 3–5% down. FHA is 3.5% down. Jumbo and investment vary. I’ll align you with a local lender to fit your scenario.
What are Mello-Roos and HOA fees?+
Some SCV neighborhoods have Mello-Roos (bond assessments) and many communities have HOA dues. We’ll surface these early so your monthly is crystal clear.
How competitive is the market right now?+
It varies by price point and neighborhood. We’ll review local absorption, days on market, and recent comps to calibrate strategy before you write.
Can you help me find homes before they hit the market?+
Yes. I tap “coming soon” listings, agent networks, and builder reps for early looks so you can move quickly on the right home.
What inspections should I expect?+
General home inspection is standard; roof, sewer, mold, or chimney can be added based on property condition. I’ll guide which are worthwhile for your target.
