A Local Family’s Home Buying Success Story

Coastal-Housing-Partnership-Success-Story

Home sweet home for Ivan and Cenorina

Two years ago, when Cenorina and Ivan first thought of buying a home, all of their offers were rejected. No one could seem to help them work out a deal. Then they found out about Coastal Housing Partnership and how their employee benefit works.

The couple attended a Coastal Housing Partnership Home Buying Seminar and then connected with a real estate agent from Coastal Housing’s network services partners.

“Education is huge. Without it we wouldn’t have had that extra push… It motivated us!,” the couple shared.

Through their employer’s Coastal Housing Partnership housing benefit, Cenorina and Ivan were able to purchase their home with less than a 20 percent down payment. They saved more than $3,000 in closing costs, and are now paying less each month than they would to rent.

“We would say to anyone who thinks home ownership is impossible: With knowledge and planning, it’s right around the corner, but we could not have done it ourselves,” Ivan and Cenorina shared.

Get Back Into the Home Buying Market

The following blog post was written by Sr. Mortgage Consultant Austin Lampson of OnQFinancial in Santa Barbara.  OnQFinancial will be one of the Exhibitors at our Home Buying Fair on March 1st from 10am-3pm at Earl Warren Showgrounds. Thank you Austin for sharing your expertise and insights!

Get Back Into the Home Buying Market
Many residents of the Gold Coast experienced hardships during the recent economic downturn that put them behind on their housing payments. Some of us had to declare bankruptcy, take a short-sale or unfortunately may have been foreclosed upon. Yet did you know that you may be eligible to be back in the purchase market sooner than later?

Lenders are lending to you!
We just closed a transaction for a client who had a short sale two years ago. She was able to enter into contract on a new home just days after the two year anniversary and obtain a Conventional, 30 yr. Fixed rate loan. Other options may be available depending on your personal circumstances, needs and goals.

Want to learn more?
Come to the Coastal Housing Partnership Fair on March 1st for more details on this topic and learn other great information about our current housing market.
