Jumbo Loans in New Jersey

When the loan amount is above the conforming limit, you need a jumbo loan. Jumbo guidelines differ a lot from lender to lender, which is where shopping several lenders can help.

What is a jumbo loan?

A jumbo loan is a mortgage larger than the conforming loan limit set each year by the FHFA for loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy. Because these loans are held or sold privately, each lender sets its own rules for credit, reserves, down payment and documentation.

Why compare jumbo lenders

  • Requirements for credit, cash reserves and down payment vary by lender.
  • Some lenders offer jumbo options for self-employed borrowers, including bank statement programs.
  • Fixed and adjustable structures are available depending on the lender.
