What is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan, also known as a non-conforming loan, is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These loans are designed for high-value properties that require financing beyond what conventional loans can offer.
Key Features of Jumbo Loans
- Higher Loan Amounts: Finance homes above the conforming loan limits.
- Variety of Terms: Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options available.
- Competitive Rates: Often comparable to conforming loan rates.
- Flexible Use: Available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.
