California Homeownership Sweepstakes Your Dream of Owning a Home in California Could Be Closer Than You Think.

A verified winner may receive up to $10,000 toward eligible down payment or closing costs on a qualifying primary residence, subject to the Official Rules, applicable law, and the requirements of the applicable lender and settlement professionals.

No. Applying is free, and no purchase is necessary to enter or win. A purchase does not increase your odds of winning. All available entry methods are described in the Official Rules.

This page serves homebuyers in all 58 California counties, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, and Anaheim.

After you apply, Reprosify can connect you with a participating real estate professional who knows your California market. They can help you navigate the homebuying process and verify your homebuyer information. Our network also includes mortgage and insurance professionals.

It may be possible. Whether a sweepstakes prize can be combined with a specific loan or assistance program depends on that program’s rules and your lender’s requirements, so ask your lender early. Reprosify is not affiliated with CalHFA or any local program.

It depends on the property. Homes near the coast, rivers, and other low-lying areas may be in a FEMA flood zone, and lenders can require flood insurance there. Even outside mapped zones, ask for a quote early so you can budget for it.

Property taxes in California are based on your home’s assessed value and the tax rates set by local governments, such as your county, city or town, and school district. Ask your local assessor about any exemptions you may qualify for.
