Jumbo mortgage eligibility requirements and guidelines are more strict than government and/or conventional loans.

Jumbo loans are also referred to as non-conforming loans because they do not conform to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac’s conforming loan limits. Higher priced homes is considered riskier for lenders. This is because it takes longer to sell a higher priced home versus a traditional home after foreclosure. It may take months and/or years to sell a higher priced home. This holds true even during a hot housing market. Higher priced homes are custom built to the owner’s needs and tastes. For example, a car enthusiast may custom design his high priced home with a dozen garages and lift systems. The garage floors may be heated and the floor may be expensive tiles. However, not everyone is a car enthusiast and the 12 garage spaces may be a negative for most home buyers. Most people will have two to three vehicles and do not need 12 car spaces.
