What is a jumbo mortgage loan?

A jumbo loan is one where the loan amount is over the conventional limit. Because such a large amount is being borrowed lenders often charge slightly higher interest rates for these loans. That conventional loan limit varies based on your location, and is higher in areas of the country with higher housing prices.

In 2012 the conventional loan limits for a one unit property are*:

Contiguous Sates & DC: General - $417,000, High-Cost - $729,750
Alaska & Hawaii: General - $625,000, High-Cost - $938,250

*Limits can change for multi-family properties and by zip codes.

An Overview of the Non-Conforming Loan Market

Jumbo mortgages are home financing programs that allow the home buyer to take out an amount that exceeds conventional conforming loan limits. To understand these limits, see the chart offered on Fannie Mae's website here: https://www.fanniemae.com/singlefamily/loan-limits. Because can jumbo loans carry a higher risk, lenders often charge higher interest rates and require stricter credit qualifications for this type of financing (i.e. a larger downpayment). Exact score requirements will vary from lender to lender. Once you've gotten an idea of the conforming loan limits for your area, you'll have a better idea of whether or not a jumbo mortgage is necessary for your purchase or refinance. Limits may vary by zip code, the number of units, and possibly for other reasons. We recommend speaking to a licensed mortgage professional to make sure that conventional financing is not possible for your scenario. Borrowers will also need to show their lender proof of income (and since jumbo mortgages are quite costly, that income will need to be sufficient to meet the lender's debt-to-income requirements). Consumers will also need to demonstrate steadiness in their employment history.
