Financing above the applicable conforming loan limit.
Overview
Jumbo loans exceed the conforming loan limit for the property’s county, unit count, and year. FHFA sets those limits. Whether a loan is jumbo depends on the loan amount, not simply whether the purchase price exceeds a particular number.
Lenders set their own jumbo credit, income, equity, and reserve requirements. Compare the full terms and ask whether a high-balance conforming option is available before choosing a jumbo product.
