Jumbo Loan Requirements for 2024
Now it’s easier than ever to buy or refinance a home between $766,550 and $10 million.
What is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan, also known as a jumbo mortgage, is a type of financing that exceeds the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Generally, borrowers must undergo more rigorous credit requirements than those applying for a conventional loan.
When do Jumbo Loans Come into Play?
As of 2024, the Federal Housing Finance Agency raised the maximum conforming loan limit for single-family property to $766,550 and in high-cost areas $1,149,825. That means that depending on your area, loan amounts above $766,550 could be considered "Jumbo."
