As of May of 2025, Southern California homeowners have $1,645 Trillion in tappable equity. That's 50% of the State's overall equity and 14% of the nations. Palm Desert is one of the most retirement-friendly cities in California — with beautiful weather, active 55+ communities, and high home values. If you're a homeowner aged 62 or older, a reverse mortgage can help you access the equity in your home without selling or making monthly mortgage payments.
A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows you to convert part of your home’s equity into cash. With a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), you can:
Eliminate monthly mortgage payments
Receive cash as a lump sum, line of credit, or monthly payout
Continue living in your home as long as it remains your primary residence
Be at least 62 years old
Own and live in the home as your primary residence
Have sufficient equity in your home
Complete a HUD-approved counseling session
High home values mean more cash potential.
Tax-free funds to cover medical expenses, travel, or living costs.
Stay in the home you love without monthly mortgage stress.
