Pat - that was a trap that was addressed for newer loans by CCP 580b(c) applicable to credit transactions after 1/1/13. Case law for prior transactions is inconsistent, with no CA Supreme decisions, and app cases to support yes and no, i.e. Conley v Matthes 56 Cal App 4th 1453 and Union Bank v. Wendland 54 Cal App 3d 393.

No, except I have some vague memory that there is a CA case that if the purchase money lender is the lender for the refi, then it is still purchase money. Maybe someone on the list will know the cite or know the negative.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

See 580b(e): to the extent refi money is used to pay off prior PM loan,
antideficiency (anti-deficiency?) protection applies. To the extent refi
proceeds exceed payoff of PM loan (cash out proceeds) there is no
protection.

The quick answers (I may be wrong) are: Refinance is not purchase money.
CCP 580b has been amended to include refinances starting in Jan 1, 2013 so
I would say it is easy to extend this case law to refinances.

That's an important decision.
Query whether it applies to refinanced mortgages. Would a refinanced
mortgage be considered "purchase money" ...

New Cal App case
In this appeal we are asked to determine a question of first impression. Do
the
anti-deficiency protections in Code of Civil Procedure section 580b apply to
a borrower
after she, with the approval of her lender, sells her residence to a third
party for a price
that is less than the outstanding balance owed the lender on the borrower's
mortgage loan,
which was obtained to purchase the residence? We conclude that section
580b's
protections do apply in this situation.
