Jumbo Mortgages
What is a Jumbo Mortgages?
A Jumbo Mortgage is any single loan amount over the conforming loan limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which is currently $417,000 for a one-unit property in most of the United States.
Conforming limits may be higher in areas of the country with more expensive housing; for example, the conforming limit is $625,500 in Alaska and Hawaii.
Jumbo Mortgages are non-conforming loans, so they are not backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Jumbo Mortgages usually have higher interest rates because they carry greater risk.
