If you're looking to purchase a high-priced home that exceeds the limits of a conventional mortgage, a jumbo loan may be the financing solution you need. Sometimes referred to as non-conforming loans, jumbo loans are designed for borrowers who need to borrow more than the standard loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — the two major government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that buy and guarantee conventional mortgages.
As of 2024, the conforming loan limit in most U.S. counties is $766,550 for a single-family home. If you need a mortgage that exceeds this amount, you're likely entering jumbo loan territory. In high-cost areas, the limit may be higher, but jumbo loans still begin where conventional financing ends.
Jumbo loans are ideal for financing luxury homes, high-value properties, or real estate in competitive housing markets where home prices often exceed conventional limits. However, they come with different requirements than standard loans.
Here’s what you can expect:
While interest rates for jumbo loans can be competitive, they often involve higher closing costs, stricter underwriting, and larger financial documentation requirements. That’s why working with a lender who understands the nuances of jumbo lending is crucial.
