What credit score do I need to buy a home in San Luis Obispo?

For FHA loans, you'll need a minimum 580. For conventional loans, 620 is the floor — but the best rates go to buyers at 740+. San Luis Obispo's competitive market means a strong pre-approval (not just pre-qualification) is essential before you start making offers.

What are typical closing costs in San Luis Obispo, CA?

Closing costs in California typically run 2–3% of the purchase price. On a $700,000 SLO home, that's roughly $14,000–$21,000. Some of this can be offset by seller credits, and certain loan programs allow gift funds. We'll show you the exact numbers before you're in contract.
