Reverse Mortgages in San Diego, CA
San Diego retirees often hold deep equity in homes bought years ago across La Jolla, North Park, or Chula Vista-adjacent neighborhoods, even as the cost of living and property taxes keep climbing. A reverse mortgage (HECM) lets homeowners 62 and older who hold roughly 50% or more equity convert part of that value into tax-free proceeds (generally), with no required monthly mortgage payment while the home remains their primary residence.
With San Diego median values often above the federal HECM lending limit, proprietary (“jumbo”) reverse options can unlock more equity in higher-value coastal homes. HECMs are FHA-insured and non-recourse, and HUD-approved counseling is required before closing.
No Monthly Mortgage Payment
Eliminate your monthly payment and free up cash flow in retirement. You remain responsible for taxes, insurance, and upkeep.
Stay In Your Home
Keep full ownership and title. The loan is repaid only when you sell, move out permanently, or pass away.
Tax-Free, Flexible Funds
Take a lump sum, monthly payments, or a growing line of credit. Proceeds are generally not taxed (confirm with your tax professional).
FHA-Insured Protection
A HECM is non-recourse — you and your heirs never owe more than the home is worth when the loan is repaid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to leave my San Diego home with a reverse mortgage?
No. You keep title and can stay in your home as your primary residence; the loan typically becomes due when the last borrower permanently moves out, sells, or passes away.
