What is a Jumbo Loan?
A Jumbo Loan is a mortgage that is more than the conforming limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2020, the jumbo mortgage floor starts at $510,400 for most homes. This limit will vary depending on the limits for your area so the more expensive area you live in, the higher the floor for a jumbo mortgage. Jumbo loans may have more strict qualification requirements. They are for higher-priced homes, which means you need to prove you have a steady income to pay it back, a good credit score, and savings available after your funds for closing.
