Jumbo Loans

Finance Higher-Priced Homes Beyond Conventional Loan Limits

If you're purchasing a luxury home or a property that exceeds conventional loan limits, a Jumbo Loan may be the financing solution you need.

Jumbo loans are designed for borrowers purchasing higher-value properties that require financing above the conforming loan limits established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These programs allow qualified homebuyers to access larger loan amounts while maintaining competitive financing options.

Whether you're purchasing a luxury residence, waterfront property, executive home, vacation home, or custom-built property, jumbo financing can help make your purchase possible.

What Is a Jumbo Loan?

A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Because these loans fall outside traditional conforming guidelines, lenders may offer specialized underwriting and qualification requirements based on the borrower's overall financial profile.

Jumbo loans are commonly used for:

• Luxury homes
• Executive homes
• Custom-built homes
• Waterfront properties
• Vacation homes
• Higher-priced primary residences
• Second homes
