What is a Jumbo Mortgage?
A jumbo loan, also known as a jumbo mortgage, is a type of financing that exceeds the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Unlike conventional mortgages, a jumbo loan is not eligible to be purchased, guaranteed or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Scott Buehler is a Jumbo loan lender.
As home prices continue to go up and the need for people to have their dreams homes with a lot of space, there is more need for home loans that exceed the Federal Housing Finance Agency conforming limits, otherwise known as a Jumbo loan.
Also called non-conforming conventional mortgages, Jumbo loans are considered riskier for lenders because these loans can’t be guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 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.
The rules and requirements for Jumbo loans are different than conventional loans.

What Are the Advantages of a Jumbo Loan?
There are several advantages to using a jumbo mortgage with a jumbo loan lender:
- Higher loan limits: Jumbo mortgages allow borrowers to finance more expensive properties, which can be particularly useful in high-cost areas where property values are significantly higher than the conforming loan limits.
- More flexible underwriting: Jumbo mortgages often have more flexible underwriting standards than conforming loans, which means that borrowers may be able to qualify for a jumbo mortgage even if they do not meet the strictest credit and income requirements.
- Potential for lower rates: Jumbo mortgages may be offered at lower interest rates than conforming loans, particularly for borrowers with excellent credit and a strong financial profile.
- Ability to finance a higher-priced property: If you are looking to purchase a more expensive property and do not have the cash on hand to make a large down payment, a jumbo mortgage can help you finance the purchase.
It's important to note that while jumbo mortgages can offer some advantages, they also come with some additional risks and potential drawbacks. Borrowers may need to make a larger down payment, and jumbo mortgages may have higher interest rates and more stringent underwriting requirements than conforming loans. It's important to carefully consider your financial situation and the terms of the mortgage before committing to a jumbo mortgage.
