When your dream home exceeds conventional loan limits, a jumbo loan can help you finance it with confidence. Whether you're buying a luxury property, a high-end condo, or a larger home in a competitive market like Las Vegas, Orange County, or the Bay Area, jumbo financing fills the gap where conforming loans max out.
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, the current conforming loan limit is $806,500. However, in designated high-cost areas, the limit can go up to $1,209,750 through High Balance Conforming Loans.
If you need to borrow more than your local conforming loan limit allows, you’ll need a jumbo mortgage.
The biggest difference is simple: loan size. But there are a few other key distinctions you should know:
✔️ Higher Loan Amounts – No cap beyond lender-specific maximums
✔️ Flexible Down Payment Options – As low as 10% down available with strong credit
✔️ Competitive Interest Rates – Sometimes even lower than conforming loans
✔️ Stricter Underwriting – Expect more thorough documentation and reserve requirements
✔️ Higher Closing Costs – Due to additional risk and loan size
With strong credit and income, you may qualify for a low down payment jumbo loan with rates that rival — or even beat — conforming loan options.
Not all jumbo loans are created equal. I work with multiple investors and lenders to help you compare low down payment, interest-only, and asset-based jumbo options to find the perfect fit for your financial profile.
