A jumbo mortgage loan is a home loan that exceeds the conforming loan limits for a county set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because it’s larger than what these federally-sponsored agencies will buy, lenders generally require better credit, a bigger down payment, and more financial documentation. Jumbo loans are typically used to finance larger or more luxurious properties.
The current jumbo loan limit in most counties in Utah is $806,500. All loans larger than this amount are considered jumbo financing.
To qualify for a jumbo mortgage and get the best rate, start by working to improve your credit score. Also, save for a larger down payment — ideally 20% or more — to reduce risk for the lender. Keep your debt-to-income ratio low and be sure to have documented evidence of a strong, stable income. Shop around for lenders and compare rates. Credit unions generally offer better rates than large commercial banks and can often also provide more flexible terms for their jumbo loans.
Yes, jumbo loans are often more expensive than conforming loans. They can come with higher interest rates, larger down payment requirements, and stricter credit standards. You may also pay more in closing costs and need extra documentation to qualify. Again, it’s worth shopping around to find the best rates on jumbo loans, especially if you are a well-qualified buyer.
Many lenders do require at least 20% down on a jumbo loan, but some may accept as little as 10% or 15% for buyers with strong credit, high income, or extra savings. Remember that a bigger down payment can help you qualify more easily and may get you a better rate. It also reduces your overall loan amount.
