Jumbo Loans

Premium financing for luxury homes and properties that exceed standard conforming loan limits.

Overview

What Is a Jumbo Loan?

Jumbo loans are designed for properties that surpass the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In most U.S. counties, that limit is $806,500 for a single-family home in 2025, though certain high-cost areas allow up to $1,209,750. Because jumbo loans cannot be purchased by the GSEs, lenders hold them on their own books, which means more stringent qualification standards but also greater flexibility in structuring your financing.
