Jumbo Loans: High-Balance Financing for Luxury Homes

A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit. In most counties, that limit is $832,750. In high-cost areas like Los Angeles and Orange County, there is a high-balance tier up to $1,249,125. True jumbo loans go from $832,751 all the way up to $30,000,000. Rob Tennyson has access to competitive products across the entire range.

  • Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties

High Balance vs. True Jumbo

In Los Angeles and Orange County, loan amounts between $832,751 and $1,249,125 qualify as high-balance conforming loans. These are still purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and typically offer better rates than true jumbo loans. True jumbo loans above $1,249,125 are priced individually by each lender, which is why having a broker with access to multiple jumbo lenders is so valuable. Rob shops multiple wholesale lenders to find you the best rate.

Jumbo Loan Qualification

Jumbo loans require a stronger financial profile than conforming loans. Most lenders look for a 700 or higher credit score (720 or higher is preferred), a 10% to 20% or more down payment, at least 12 months of reserves, a debt-to-income ratio under 43%, and full income documentation. Rob works with multiple jumbo lenders to find the best fit for your specific numbers.
