You’re buying a home that requires a mortgage above the conforming limits for mortgages in your area. You’ve got the income and cash reserves to support a large house loan. If your credit score and down payment are strong too, a jumbo loan can get you into your dream home.
Jumbo Loans are especially attractive to…
- Borrowers with qualifying credit scores, asset levels, and significant down payments.
- Buyers who need a mortgage above the conforming limit of $726,525 in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands or $484,350 everywhere else in the U.S.
- Buyers who can easily cover larger-than-average monthly mortgage payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Conforming mortgages are Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae-backed loans with limits of $484,350 in all states except Alaska, Hawaii, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the limit is $726,525. Jumbo loans allow you to go outside those limits and buy a more expensive home if you qualify.
To qualify for the best rate, you should have a strong work or income history, a low Debt-to-Income (DTI), a down payment of 10-20%, and the ability to cover between 6 to 12 months of mortgage payments via cash reserves or assets.
That depends on the amount you borrow, your loan type, your credit profile, and market rates when you apply. But, for the most qualified buyers, APR can be as low as the rates on some conforming loans.
No, we offer a wide variety of jumbo loans depending on: the location of your home, your income, credit, whether you want a fixed, adjustable or no interest loan, and other factors.
No, you can use your jumbo loan for second or vacation homes and investment properties, too.
With some of the products we offer, you can get unlimited cash out refinancing if you and your home qualify.
If you’re self-employed, have an unorthodox property, don’t have standard documentation, or need to borrow above 80% Loan-to-Value (LTV) with a smaller down payment, we may have products to meet your needs.
