A jumbo loan is a home loan that is larger than “conforming” loans that banks and lenders sell to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Instead of using loan limits set by government-sponsored entities (GSEs), jumbo loans are issued by private lenders. Mortgage companies set their own guidelines for loan approval and often hold the loans for a period of time.
The current conforming loan amount is $484,350 for a single-family home in all states, except for high-cost locations in Calfornia, Hawaii, Alaska among other high-cost markets. The loan limits in these high-cost locations are typically $726,525
Jumbo loans make it possible for borrowers to purchase expensive luxury homes without a large down payment. If you’re buying a high-priced home and you don’t make a large down payment, a jumbo loan may be your best option. You might even get a lower interest rate with a non-conforming loan.
