Jumbo Loans​
High-value financing for luxury homes and larger loan needs.
Financing for High-Value Homes
A jumbo loan is a type of mortgage specifically designed to finance properties that exceed the limits of a conventional conforming loan. As determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the current maximum for a conforming loan is $766,550 in most U.S. counties. Homes that surpass this amount require a jumbo loan, often used for luxury properties or high-priced real estate markets.
Since jumbo loans don’t conform to the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they are considered riskier for lenders. This means that these loans cannot be guaranteed by government-backed entities, which offer protections to lenders in case of borrower default. As a result, jumbo loans come with stricter qualification requirements, such as higher credit scores, larger down payments, and proof of substantial income or assets.
Despite the added challenges, jumbo loans offer homebuyers flexibility, as they are available with both fixed and adjustable interest rates, and various term lengths to suit individual financial goals.
Higher Loan Amounts
Jumbo loans allow borrowers to finance homes that exceed the conforming loan limit of $766,550, making them ideal for purchasing luxury or high-value properties.
Stricter Qualification Standards
Lenders require higher credit scores, larger down payments (typically 10-20%), and significant proof of income and assets due to the increased risk.
Variety of Loan Terms
Jumbo loans are available with both fixed and adjustable interest rates, providing flexibility to borrowers based on their financial situation and long-term plans.
Not Backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
Since jumbo loans are not eligible for government backing, lenders assume more risk, which can result in higher interest rates and stricter approval requirements.

Jumbo Loans
A jumbo loan is a mortgage used to finance properties that are too expensive for a conventional conforming loan. The maximum amount for a conforming loan is $766,550 in most counties, as determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Homes that exceed the local conforming loan limit require a jumbo loan.
Also called non-conforming conventional mortgages, jumbo loans are considered riskier for lenders because these loans can’t be guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie, meaning the lender is not protected from losses if a borrower defaults. Jumbo loans are typically available with either a fixed interest rate or an adjustable rate, and they come with a variety of terms.
