Jumbo
Dream homes can mean big loans, and a Jumbo home loan can make those dream homes become a reality.
When the home of your dreams is in an extremely desirable location, your growing family demands a larger home or you desire luxury amenities that rival most five-star resorts, a Jumbo loan may be right for you.
Jumbo loans are also considered non-conforming loans because they exceed the conforming loan limit of $766,550. Interest rates on Jumbo loans tend to be higher, due to the increased risk associated with larger loan amounts, and because the loans cannot be sold to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae on the secondary market. Some borrowers may choose to pay a larger down payment to get their loan size below the conforming limit. Other borrowers are comfortable paying a higher monthly payment instead of putting the additional money down. For these borrowers with higher monthly income but less available down payment, a Jumbo loan is the perfect solution. Are you a veteran, active duty or surviving spouse of a veteran or service member?
