Jumbo Loan

A jumbo loan is a mortgage designed to finance a home purchase that exceeds the borrowing limits set for conventional conforming loans. It gives qualified buyers the ability to finance higher-priced homes with a single mortgage.

“Jumbo” simply refers to a loan amount that exceeds conventional loan limits—it isn’t just one type of mortgage. Jumbo financing can be structured for purchases, refinances, renovations and ground-up construction, as well as VA, DSCR and asset-depletion loans, among other options.
