Are you a University of California employee or staff member thinking about buying a home in the Bay Area?
There is a UC shared appreciation path that can include 20% down payment assistance for buyers who meet the program criteria. I partner with lending specialist Marc Yu so we can walk you through eligibility and next steps.
Program criteria (high level): • First-time homebuyer — generally no homeownership in the last 3 years. Exception: in Santa Cruz, San Mateo, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Monterey counties, the lookback is 12 months. • Worked in the UC system for at least 5 years • Completed the UC Shared Appreciation Education Course
If that sounds like you — or you’re not sure and want to check — send me a note or download the one-page flyer below. Happy to talk through neighborhoods, commute, and how this fits your timeline.
