Local market conditions
Along Huntington Drive and the quiet streets near the Huntington Library and Lacy Park, San Marino's grand 1920s and '30s estates have been held by the same families for generations. Because so many of these properties sit well above the FHA HECM limit, longtime owners here often explore a proprietary jumbo reverse mortgage to convert a large share of their built-up wealth into liquidity — funding healthcare, gifts to grandchildren, or simply more comfort — while staying in the home they love. Miguel walks each homeowner through both options carefully, so the numbers and the trade-offs are clear before any decision is made.
What San Marino residents say

Frequently asked questions
Can San Marino homeowners get a jumbo reverse mortgage?
Yes. With a median home value around $2,400,000 — far above the FHA HECM limit — most San Marino homeowners use a proprietary jumbo reverse mortgage to access significantly more equity.
What is the minimum age for a reverse mortgage in San Marino?
Standard HECMs require age 62, but some proprietary jumbo programs accept qualified borrowers as young as 55 — often ideal for high-value San Marino homes.
How much can I access on a high-value San Marino home?
Jumbo reverse mortgages can lend on values into the millions, so eligible San Marino owners may access far more than the roughly $500,000 cap of a standard HECM. We model both options side by side.
Do I keep ownership of my San Marino estate?
Yes. You stay on title and in your home. The loan is repaid only when the last borrower sells, permanently moves, or passes away, provided property taxes, insurance, and upkeep are maintained.
