What you need to know
You can afford a more expensive home! With home values increasing, you may find yourself in need of a larger loan amount. That's where a jumbo mortgage comes in. If your required loan amount is even $1 over your area's Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) conforming loan limit, a jumbo loan (or non-conforming loan) is needed.
Conforming loan limits can change on an annual basis, so it's best to visit the Fannie Mae website to find the latest information on your area's limit.
* All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Qualifications (LTV, DTI, FICO score, loan amount) are subject to change without notice and may vary by state.
