What Is a Jumbo Loan?

A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). For 2025, the conforming loan limit for most areas is $766,550 (and up to $1,149,825 in high-cost areas like parts of California). Any loan amount above those thresholds is considered “jumbo.”

Jumbo loans are not backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which means lenders set their own stricter guidelines — and working with an experienced mortgage broker is key.

Key Features & Benefits of Jumbo Loans

• Higher Loan Amounts
  Finance homes over conforming limits — up to $3 million or more, depending on the lender and borrower profile.

• Flexible Down Payments
  Options for as little as 10%–20% down, with no mortgage insurance required on many jumbo programs.

• Competitive Interest Rates
  Enjoy low rates — often comparable to conforming loans — especially with strong credit and reserves.

• Customizable Loan Terms
  Choose from fixed-rate or adjustable-rate (ARM) options, with flexible term lengths (15, 20, 30 years, and more).

• Primary, Secondary, or Investment Property Eligible
  Jumbo loans can be used to finance your main home, a second home, or certain investment properties.

• Tailored Lending Solutions
  Every jumbo borrower’s financial profile is unique. Jonas works directly with underwriters to structure and negotiate loan terms that align with your assets, income, and long-term goals.
