Bridge Loans in Tiburon
How long does a bridge loan last in Tiburon?
Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. That's usually enough time to sell your Tiburon home after closing on the new one.
01
Tiburon is one of the tightest markets in Marin County. Good listings move fast, and waiting to sell first often means losing the deal.
A bridge loan gives you buying power now. You tap equity from your current home to close on the new one before your old one sells.
6 – 12 months
Typical Loan Term
~20% departing home

Approval Driver
02
Bridge loans are non-QM products. Lenders underwrite them differently than conventional loans — equity position matters most.
Most lenders want at least 20% equity in your departing home. Strong credit helps, but the deal structure drives approval more than your score.

Big retail banks rarely offer bridge loans. This is a wholesale and private lender product — exactly what we shop daily across 200+ sources.
Rates vary by lender, loan size, and your equity story. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
04
The biggest mistake I see in Tiburon: sellers wait to list, then panic-buy and lose. A bridge loan flips that script.
We structure these deals so your monthly carry is manageable. Most borrowers close on the new home, then sell the old one within 90 days.
05
Hard money loans are faster but cost more. Bridge loans from wholesale lenders tend to have better terms if you have solid equity.
Interest-only loans stretch payments but don't solve the contingency problem. A bridge loan does both — lower monthly cost and clean offer.
06
Tiburon homes carry high price tags and strong equity. That equity is your bridge loan collateral — and Marin properties are bankable.
As of April 2026, Marin County remains one of the Bay Area's most supply-constrained markets. That makes move-up buying without a bridge loan very difficult.
