A jumbo mortgage is a high balance loan that exceeds the standard conforming loan limits established by entities like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. In most U.S. locations, the current conventional loan limit in 2020 is $510,400. These limits can change at the end of each year.
Select high-cost locations in parts of New York, Colorado, Florida, San Francisco, Los Angeles California, DC and the North East have higher conventional loan limits up to $765,600. Please see the chart below. Any loan amount exceeding these conforming loan limits would be considered a jumbo loan.
Jumbo loans are a great way to purchase a higher-priced luxury home or refinance a larger mortgage. If you have manageable debt-to-income ratios, higher credit scores and at least a 5% down payment, the jumbo loan program may be right for you.
