First-time buyers in California face one of the nation's most challenging affordability landscapes. Statewide median home prices hover near $800K, but attainable markets exist throughout the Inland Empire, Central Valley, and parts of Sacramento and Riverside Counties.

FHA loans (3.5% down) and conventional 5% down programs remain widely accepted.
