What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan exceeds the size of loan that would meet the underwriting requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Essentially, it’s a loan that’s too large to be covered by the terms of a conventional mortgage loan.
Is this loan right for me?
A better question is — is this house right for you? If you have your eyes set on a high-value property that’s more than $766,550, odds are you’ll need a jumbo loan. There are more checks and requirements on the borrower here, because the loan is not backed by the government or a mortgage association.
How can LitFinancial help?
Jumbo loans are high-stake loans. LitFinancial’s experienced loan officers can walk you through the ins and outs of a jumbo loan to explain complex terms in ways you can understand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Let's help make things clearer.
A Jumbo loan is a mortgage that’s larger than the standard conforming loan limit. It’s used to buy higher-priced homes.
The limit changes each year and varies by area, but jumbo loans start above the conforming loan limit, which is set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Many lenders want 10%–20% down, but some offer as low as 5% with strong credit and income.
Most jumbo loans require 700 or higher, though some programs allow lower with strong financials.
Sometimes, but not always. Rates depend on your credit, down payment, and financial profile.
Because the loan amounts are higher, lenders want to see strong credit, stable income, and solid reserves.
Yes. Many jumbo programs require you to have months of mortgage payments saved—often 6–12 months or more.
You’ll need full income verification: pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, bank statements, and investment statements.
Yes—many jumbo programs allow primary, second homes, and investment properties.
Usually no. Jumbo loans rarely require PMI, even with a smaller down payment.
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-unit properties (depending on the lender).
You can choose either. Jumbo loans come in fixed-rate, ARM, and interest-only options.
They can, because underwriting is stricter, but most still close in 30–45 days.
Yes. You can refinance into another jumbo loan or into a conforming loan if the balance drops low enough.
Lenders look closely at your income history, stability, and overall financial picture. Self-employed borrowers may need extra documentation.
Most jumbo loans want a DTI below 43%, but some allow higher with strong compensating factors.
Yes, and some lenders require two appraisals because of the high loan amount.
Some jumbo programs allow gift funds, especially for the down payment, but rules vary widely by lender.
You may still qualify if you have strong credit, a larger down payment, or significant assets elsewhere.
It’s a good fit if you’re buying a high-priced home and have solid credit, income, and savings to support a larger mortgage.

When you love what you do, it shows.
We were moving 1800 miles across country and worked with Chad Pounders at Lit Financial to broker our mortgage. As difficult as remote home buying can be, the financing was the least stressful by a wide margin and I credit that to Chad and his team at Lit. Communication was always quick and Chad showed a ton of patience as we worked through inventory with our realtor. Chad is knowledgeable and was open and honest about our options as we moved through the process. I highly recommend reaching out to Chad and his team at Lit if you are in… Read more →
We did a refinance on our home, and James Abdallah was very professional, assisting us every step of the way with any information we needed and answering any questions that we had. The entire process was very fast and we felt very comfortable with how knowledgeable he was. He was easy to contact and available at all times for us. We ended up getting the deal that we wanted with a quick turnaround time. A special thanks to Lex and Sue as well for their help as part of the team! I highly recommend working with the Lit Financial team… Read more →
Chris Solinski nailed it AGAIN. Love working with Chris... He makes things easy and efficient. I think we've done 12 or 13 loans with Chris now (and we'll do more). Missy and Tony were great to work with during the process, as well. Great team. Recommended! Read more →
Work with Jay Saad on a 10 year fixed refinance on my home in NJ. Jay was very knowledgable and helpful. He also got me a great rate! Had a few hiccups along the way but he was very quick to respond and alleviate any concerns. Would highly recommend Jay and Lit Financial in the future to any friends looking to buy a home or refinance. Thanks again! Read more →
