Jumbo Loan Program

The Jumbo Loan Program is for borrowers who require larger than conventional loan amounts to purchase luxury properties, invest in real estate, afford homes in expensive markets, or fund custom home renovations. Jumbo loans offer flexibility and higher loan amounts, making them a tailored solution for those with unique financial needs and circumstances. Ideal candidates include high-net-worth individuals, luxury home buyers, real estate investors, self-employed professionals, and residents in high-cost areas.

What is a Jumbo Loan Program?

A Jumbo Loan is a vital financial tool for those seeking to purchase properties that surpass the thresholds established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). In essence, it provides a means to secure financing for homes whose values exceed the maximum limit set for conventional conforming loans. For instance, in 2024, this limit stands at $766,550 in most counties for a single dwelling, as dictated by the FHFA.
