Miami Jumbo Home Financing

This page updated and accurate as of July 14, 2025

Miami Jumbo Loan 2025New Jumbo options now permit approved home buyers to finance up to 95% Loan to value for home loan amounts up to $2 million. The 5% down Jumbo mortgage options in Miami-Dade are currently available for both home purchases and Jumbo refinance.

Mortgages are considered “Jumbo” if they exceed the 2025 conforming loan limit, which in most of Florida is anything mortgage over $806,500.  Monroe County and the Keys is the only exception that allows for conforming loan amounts a bit higher to $967,150.

“Conforming” refers to the limits imposed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government organizations that buy mortgages from banks and lenders. Because these larger “jumbo” loans cannot be sold to these enterprises, they have to be held by the lender, whether it be a bank or private entity.

Since jumbo loans are not guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the risk is higher, so the rates have tended to be higher, though that gap has narrowed in the last few years. Even if and when they are higher, it is by a small amount. Depending on the loan to value of the borrower’s loan, it can be near the same.
To be clear, a jumbo mortgage in Miami-Dade is one that is above $806,500, but that does not mean the home being purchased is that amount. We’re talking about the actual loan amount. So, for instance, if you purchased a home in Miami for $1,000,000 and put down 20 percent ($200,000), your $800,000 mortgage amount would not be considered Jumbo.
