Jumbo loans are mortgage loans that exceed the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the two government-sponsored enterprises that buy and securitize mortgages). These limits vary by location and are typically higher in areas with higher housing prices. Jumbo loans are generally used to finance higher-priced homes or luxury properties. They usually require a higher down payment (10% or more) and have stricter credit and income requirements compared to conventional loans. Jumbo loans also tend to have higher interest rates. If you are looking to purchase a high-priced home or a property that exceeds the conforming loan limits in your area, a jumbo loan may be the right choice for you.
