Our team at Galaxy Lending Group can help you explore jumbo mortgages on homes that exceed conventional and other loan type cap amounts, with competitive rates and flexible financing options.

The Facts About Jumbo Loans:

What Are Jumbo Loans?

Jumbo mortgages are home loans that exceed conforming loan limits. A jumbo loan is one way to buy a high-priced or luxury home. If you have a lower debt-to-income ratio, a higher credit score and a larger down payment, a jumbo loan may be right for you.

The limit on conforming loans is $417,000 in most areas of the country, but jumbo mortgages can exceed these limits. Even so, if you’re considering a home in a high-cost area, you may still be able to obtain a conforming fixed-rate mortgage or adjustable-rate mortgage for up to $625,500. FHA loans have limits of up to $729,750.

Minimize Cash Investment

Jumbo mortgages allow you to finance a large portion of a high-cost home without needing to invest a sizable cash payment to fit into conventional loan parameters.

Check Your Eligibility for a Jumbo Loan

These are the requirements for getting a Jumbo home loan:

Conventional loans are a good choice for borrowers with very good credit, which generally means a FICO score of 700 or higher.

There is no private mortgage insurance option with a jumbo mortgage, so the required down payment will be larger – typically 20%.

The property appraisal must support the purchase price for the home and the mortgage the borrower wants.

Jumbo loan borrowers may need to show they have enough cash reserves to cover one year of mortgage payments.

To prove your financial health, you’ll need extensive documentation, perhaps more than for a conforming loan.

While it’s fairly common to put down less than 20% on conforming loans, jumbo loans are more likely to require a down payment of at least 20%.

When applying for a jumbo mortgage, the maximum debt-to-income ratio for jumbo loans is 45%, and the required reserve amount for jumbo loan borrowers can be as high as 20 percent of the value of the loan.

For your monthly mortgage payment to be no more than 38% of your income before taxes.

Scottsdale Home Loans - Homeownership in High-Income Areas

In many areas, real estate prices are high and above the normally allowed ceilings for conforming loan homes. Jumbo mortgages are designed to make homeownership an option without needing to liquify assets to reduce the loan amount. This can give you the option to live in the community you desire and still finance the home you choose, even if it is well above the $417,000 marker for conforming loans, or even above the FHA loan amount of $729,750.

Flexible Loan Options

Although jumbo mortgages have specific terms that must be met to qualify, there are still many options. There are fixed-rate 30-year loans, variable rates and even second mortgages available in some cases to cover up to 90% of the home price. If you meet the qualifications of the lender, there are many options to reduce the interest or payment amounts.

Our experts at Galaxy Lending Group can help find the best fit for your jumbo mortgage loan in Scottsdale, Arizona or beyond to meet your needs.
