Jumbo Loans

Jumbo Home Loans

for high-value homes

Jumbo home loans are the way to finance a purchase with a value above federal standards. The conventional conforming loan limit is $484,350. For a home with a purchase price above this limit, a jumbo loan is needed.

It’s true that a jumbo home loan might be the route to go if you were trying to buy a castle, but in some areas with high housing costs a jumbo loan might be needed to purchase a relatively modest house. Elite Mortgage can help the whole spectrum of these customers.
