Get answers to common questions about jumbo loans, eligibility, and the application process.
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). In most U.S. counties, any loan above $726,200 (as of 2023) is considered a jumbo loan. In designated high-cost areas, the threshold can be as high as $1,089,300 for a single-family home.
Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 700-720 for jumbo loans, although some may require 740 or higher for the best rates. The higher your credit score, the better terms you're likely to receive. Some luxury property loans may require scores of 760 or above.
While requirements vary by lender, most jumbo loans require a down payment of at least 10-20% of the purchase price. Some programs may allow for down payments as low as 5-10% for highly qualified borrowers, though this typically results in higher interest rates.
Historically, jumbo loans carried higher interest rates than conventional loans due to the increased risk associated with larger loan amounts. However, in recent years, jumbo loan rates have become competitive with and sometimes lower than conventional rates, especially for borrowers with excellent credit and strong financial profiles.
Yes, jumbo loans can be used to finance various property types, including primary residences, vacation homes, and investment properties. They're available for single-family homes, condos, co-ops, and multi-unit properties, though terms may vary based on property type and intended use.
While there's no set income threshold, jumbo loan borrowers must demonstrate substantial, stable income sufficient to comfortably make the monthly payments. Lenders typically look for a debt-to-income ratio of 43% or less, though some may allow up to 45% for strong applicants with significant assets.
