A mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These loans typically have higher interest rates and require a higher credit score and larger down payment than conforming loans.
Jumbo loans are mortgage loans that exceed the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the two government-sponsored enterprises that buy and securitize mortgages). These limits vary by location and are typically higher in areas with higher housing prices. Jumbo loans are generally used to finance higher-priced homes or luxury properties. They usually require a higher down payment (10% or more) and have stricter credit and income requirements compared to conventional loans. Jumbo loans also tend to have higher interest rates. If you are looking to purchase a high-priced home or a property that exceeds the conforming loan limits in your area, a jumbo loan may be the right choice for you.
