Why borrowers look at Escondido

Escondido sits in San Diego County, and most borrowers here are buying single-family homes within commuting distance of the area's job centers. Lenders treat it like the rest of San Diego County: property taxes are assessed by the county and escrowed into the payment, so the county tax bill is part of every approval here. California is a community-property state with high conforming and high-balance limits in many counties.
