Overview

What it is

A jumbo loan exceeds the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. While they are non-conforming, jumbo loans remain essential for purchasing higher-priced homes and typically require stronger credit and reserves.

For strong borrowers, jumbo pricing is often very competitive with conforming loans.

Typical requirements

  • A strong credit score, generally 700 or higher
  • A larger down payment (often 10–20%+)
  • Significant cash reserves
  • Full documentation of income and assets

Potential benefits

  • Finance high-value properties in a single loan
  • Competitive rates for strong borrowers
  • Fixed and adjustable options
  • Available for primary, second, and investment homes
