Plenty of Wawona borrowers fit the textbook: clean W-2 income, two years on the same job, a tidy credit file. Plenty of others don't. We built New Avenue Realty & Loans for both. With 80+ loan programs and a 4.9 Google rating, we work the file until we find a structure that funds — conventional, FHA, bank-statement, P&L only, or non-QM. Wawona clients usually have an answer the same week they call.
Median household income in Wawona sits near $64,896 according to recent ACS estimates, which means debt-to-income calculations matter — and so does picking the right loan program. With roughly 125 residents, the city's borrowers range from W-2 earners to business owners with variable income. We structure loans against that real income picture rather than a generic California average, so the DTI math holds up when the file actually goes to underwriting.
Wawona renters paying around $1,125/month — per recent ACS estimates — often discover that homeownership is closer than they thought, especially with FHA's 3.5% down option or 3%-down conventional. New Avenue Realty & Loans runs the side-by-side math on rent versus a real PITI payment, then maps it to the loan programs you actually qualify for. Call (323) 694-5476 and you'll get a real scenario, not a marketing script — and we tell you upfront if buying right now doesn't pencil.

Common questions
Wawona mortgage FAQs
What credit score do I need for a mortgage in Wawona?
It varies by program. FHA loans for Wawona buyers can work with lower scores, conventional usually prefers mid-600s and up, and our non-QM programs reach further down in exchange for different terms. We pull credit once and match the score to the strongest available program.
Do you help first-time homebuyers in Wawona?
Yes. First-time buyers are a big part of who we work with in Wawona. We walk through pre-approval, explain how down payment and closing costs actually work in California, and lay out FHA, 3%-down conventional, and other low-down-payment options at no charge.
Can I refinance my Wawona home with New Avenue?
Yes. We handle rate-and-term, cash-out, and debt-consolidation refinances for Wawona homeowners. Whether you want to lower your payment, pull equity for renovations, or move out of FHA into conventional, we run the math. If a refi doesn't save you money, we'll say so.
