Bakersfield Housing Market & Mortgage Overview

Median Home Price

$370K

Conforming Limit

$806,500

Bakersfield is one of California's most affordable metro areas, with median home prices around $370K — making homeownership accessible to a wide range of buyers. The energy and agriculture industries that drive Kern County's economy create a diverse borrower base: W-2 employees at oil companies, self-employed farm operators, and small business owners. Our bank statement loan programs and Non-QM options help self-employed Bakersfield residents qualify without traditional tax return documentation. Real estate investors are also active in Bakersfield's rental market, where our DSCR loans allow qualification based on rental income rather than personal income.
