Jumbo mortgages are home loans that exceed conforming loan limits. A jumbo loan is one way to buy a high-priced or luxury home.
A jumbo mortgage, or jumbo loan, is a home loan that’s bigger than the limits on conforming loans set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also called non-conforming mortgages, jumbo loans are considered riskier for lenders because these loans aren’t guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie, meaning the lender is not protected from losses if a borrower defaults.
Jumbo loans are typically available with either a fixed interest rate or an adjustable rate, and they come with a variety of terms. You may need a jumbo loan if the amount you need to borrow is over the federal conforming loan limits in your county. Use the tool below to see conforming loan limits across the U.S.
