Who’s Eligible
- Qualifying for a jumbo loan
Underwriting criteria for jumbo loans are stricter because these loans are larger and riskier for lenders. - Credit score
Lenders may require your FICO score to be higher than 700, and sometimes as high as 720, to qualify for a jumbo loan. - Debt-to-income ratio
Lenders will also consider your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) to ensure you don’t become over-leveraged, though they may be more flexible if you have plentiful cash reserves. Some lenders have a hard cap of 45% DTI, however. - Cash reserves
You’re more likely to be approved for a jumbo loan if you have ample cash in the bank. It’s not uncommon for lenders to ask jumbo loan borrowers to show they have enough cash reserves to cover one year of mortgage payments. - Documentation
To prove your financial health, you’ll need extensive documentation, perhaps more than for a conforming loan. You should be prepared to hand over your full tax returns, W-2s, and 1099s when applying, in addition to bank statements and information on any investment accounts. - Appraisals
Some lenders may require a second appraisal of the home you’re planning to purchase.
Jumbo loans vs. conforming loans
- The key difference between jumbo mortgages and conforming loans is the size of the loan amount. For a thorough look at the two, and the pros and cons of each read about the differences between conforming and non-conforming loans. Among the other factors that differentiate jumbo loans from conforming loans:
- Heftier down payment
While low down payments are fairly common on conforming loans, jumbo loans are more likely to require a down payment as low as 10%. - Potentially higher interest rates
Jumbo mortgage rates may be slightly higher than those on conforming loans, depending on the lender and your financial situation. However, many lenders can offer jumbo loan rates that are competitive with rates on conforming loans — and some may even offer slightly lower rates depending on market conditions. - Higher closing costs and fees
Because jumbo loans are bigger and there are some extra qualifying steps, expect higher costs at the closing table.
