When You Need a Loan Above the Conforming Limit
Like high-balance mortgage loans, jumbo loans are designed for those who want to make a home purchase with a loan that’s larger than the conforming loan limit, but need to borrow even more money than what a high-balance loan can offer.
What Can You Do When You Live in a High-Priced Area?
Get on the phone and talk to a lender about taking on a jumbo mortgage.
A type of non-conforming loan, jumbos in most housing markets can buy you a home worth more than $806,500. Non-conforming loans are any that exceed that funding limit. In some high-priced markets, the minimum financing threshold starts at $1,209,750.
