Jumbo Loans

Jumbo loans are loans with high enough balances to not conform to the loan limit requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Reserved for higher cost properties, jumbo financing is possible to pursue with loan amounts of $766,551 or higher, and will be the only loan option when your loan amount exceeds $1,149,825.  Our maximum loan amount is $3 Million.

There are three primary things that separate jumbo loan requirements from other types of loans, and they are:
1. Higher down payment minimums. Here are the specific minimums for our loan programs:

a. Borrowing up to $1,250,000: 10% down

b. Borrowing up to $3,000,000: 15% down without MI (better terms are found with 20 or 25% down)

2. Credit score requirements. You will need a higher credit score to get a jumbo loan, and your credit score has a greater impact on the loan terms.  The minimum credit score is 700, and the best loan terms will be found with scores over 800.

3. Reserve requirements. Every jumbo loan will require some amount of reserves. Reserves are cash that you have left over, after purchasing, that you retain.

There are very many options when considering jumbo financing. You will find adjustable rates with start rates lasting from three to ten years, and fixed rates with amortizations of ten to thirty years. We can sometimes surprise our clients by showing them that the adjustable rates that we have with jumbo financing can be lower than conforming interest rates.
