Quick program summary
A jumbo loan is a mortgage with a loan amount above the applicable conforming loan limit for the property's county and unit count, so it is underwritten to each lender's own guidelines.
- For loan amounts above the applicable conforming loan limit
- Underwritten to individual lender guidelines rather than agency limits
- Purchase, rate-and-term refinance and cash-out scenarios may be considered
- Primary residences, second homes and investment properties may be eligible
- Documentation and reserve expectations are typically more detailed
What is jumbo loans?
Conforming loan limits are published annually and vary by county and by the number of units. When a loan amount exceeds the applicable limit, the file is reviewed as a jumbo loan.
Because jumbo loans fall outside agency parameters, each lender sets its own guidelines. That means pricing, documentation and reserve expectations can vary widely between lenders for the very same borrower.
Transactions commonly considered include high-value purchases, refinances that consolidate existing financing, and cash-out requests on eligible higher-value properties.
Before requesting a review, it helps to have a clear picture of income sources, liquid reserves and any equity compensation or business ownership involved, since jumbo review tends to be more detailed.
