Rent to own Homes in Prunedale, CA

Prunedale is a hidden gem just outside of Monterey on California's northern coast. Home to about 19,000 people, the town got its name because of the plum trees that were planted when the town was founded. Unfortunately, the plum trees didn't make it, but the town continues to thrive in its own low-key manner, leaving city-living and the tourist crowds to its neighbors. Highway 101, one of California's major coastal north-south routes, runs directly through Prunedale.

Prunedale, CA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $94,179 and a median rent of $1,578, the Prunedale, CA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Prunedale, CA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
