What is Jumbo?

Financing Luxury Properties Beyond Conventional Limits

Jumbo loans are non-conforming mortgages that exceed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits. These are portfolio products held by lenders, which means underwriting is more thorough and qualification standards are stricter than conventional loans.

When a property price exceeds the conforming loan limit of $806,500 in most SoCal markets, jumbo financing is the path forward. These loans are held in the lender's own portfolio rather than sold to secondary markets, which changes how they are underwritten and priced.

Because lenders hold the risk directly, they require stronger borrower profiles: higher credit scores, larger down payments, documented reserves, and full income verification. For borrowers who qualify, jumbo products offer competitive rates and the ability to finance high-value properties that agency programs simply cannot touch.
