A jumbo mortgage, also known as a jumbo home loan, is a type of financing that exceeds Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) limits. Jumbo mortgages are designed to finance luxury properties and homes in highly competitive local real estate markets. 

Jumbo Mortgage Facts

  • Jumbo mortgages are a type of loan that exceeds the limits set by the FHFA and cannot be purchased, guaranteed, or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. 
  • Strict credit requirements are a part of the application process for homeowners seeking a jumbo mortgage. 
  • To get approved for a jumbo mortgage, an excellent credit score and very low debt-to-income ratio are needed. 
  • On par with conventional mortgages, the average APR for a jumbo mortgage is typically in the same ballpark as standard market rates, with down payment requirements typically in the 10%-15% range. 

Who Typically Takes Out A Jumbo Mortgage?

Jumbo mortgages are typically utilized by high-income earners who make between $250,000 and $500,000 a year. However, these high-earners might not have all the cash needed to make a high down payment, which means the amount being borrowed is comparatively high. Due to the amount of money being borrowed, these applicants need to have an excellent credit score with a significantly established credit history.
