re-fi, you want at least 20% equity in your home. Not only could this

Affordable Redding Offered by Ed Molthop, owner/agent Shasta and Tehama Counties, California Phone: 530-921-3915 |
Redding, California is about 3 hours north of Sacramento, in what locals call the "north state" area, part of the Central Valley, which runs all the way from Bakersfield north to Redding. This area is also called the Sacramento Valley or Shasta/Cascade.
Surrounded by public lands, with the Sacramento River running through it, Redding is a beautiful city. Interstate 5 makes Redding convenient to all the major cities of California and Oregon, but Redding still has the feel and friendliness of a small town.
Summers are hot and winters are wet, but you never have to shovel snow. Redding is an active place. An easy day trip takes you to Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen, Shasta Lake, Hat Creek, and all sorts of other interesting places. We have many active groups for tennis, hiking, bicycling, and other sports.
Redding is growing steadily, with real estate prices still among the lowest in California. Our population is over 100,000, with summer visitors bringing that number to around 170,000.
We have great opportunities for a good education, too. Shasta College now offers 4-year degree programs and so do National University, Simpson University, and Shasta Bible College.
Our city is a great place to live, work, play, start a business, or just come for a visit.
