Proposition 37: 17% Second Mortgage
California is considering Proposition 37, which could be a significant step for buyers of certain new homes—especially those who have the income to afford monthly payments but find saving for a down payment tough. This measure would offer a state-backed second mortgage covering up to 17% of the purchase price, as long as buyers bring at least 3% down. That means together, buyers could reach the 20% mark, making it easier to qualify for a primary mortgage to cover the rest. The state plans to issue up to $25 billion in revenue bonds to fund the program, with participating homeowners repaying through their loan payments. I see firsthand in Walnut and the San Gabriel Valley how the upfront cash hurdle keeps many families—particularly Latino households—from owning a home, even when they’re ready for the responsibility. On November 3, 2026, voters will decide if this innovative, loan-based approach deserves to be tried across California. As someone who’s helped local families for over 15 years, I’ll be watching closely to see how this could open new doors for our community.

Perfect Home Improvement Projects for People Who HATE Renovating
Not everyone enjoys tackling major renovations—and after more than 15 years helping families buy and sell in Walnut and the surrounding areas, I completely understand! If you’re looking to freshen up your home without the stress of a full remodel, there are some simple upgrades that make a real difference. Start by replacing air filters for a healthier space, sealing up drafts to keep things comfortable, and installing a smart thermostat for modern convenience. Swapping cabinet k***s and outlet covers, upgrading to brighter or smart bulbs, or painting with a fresh, neutral tone—these are small projects that can totally transform your home’s feel. After 30+ years serving our community, I know these easy changes often pay off when it comes time to list your property. Count on Mike to guide you with local expertise—sometimes, the little things really do add up!
