Jumbo Loans

Jumbo mortgages are loans that exceed the conforming loan limits set by regulations. They’re typically used to purchase high-priced or luxury homes and have stricter requirements. If you have a low debt-to-income ratio, a strong credit score, and a large down payment, a jumbo loan might be right for you.

Requirements

The underwriting process for jumbo mortgages is similar to that of conventional mortgages but includes additional requirements:
  • Property Appraisals: Jumbo lenders may require two appraisals instead of one.
  • Credit History: A strong FICO score of 700 or higher is typically needed.
  • Financial Ability: A debt-to-income ratio below 45% is required to demonstrate the ability to make monthly payments.
  • Down Payment: While a 20% down payment is common, requirements vary by lender and may range from 15% to 30%.

Lender-specific guidelines will ultimately determine the exact requirements.
