The Sacramento region has many beautiful homes that cost more to purchase than is possible to borrow using a conforming conventional loan.
Thankfully, you can borrow a higher amount using a jumbo mortgage, allowing you to move into your dream home.
What is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a type of conventional loan that does not conform to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits.

Do You Qualify for a CA Jumbo Mortgage?
Here is what we will look at when determining whether you qualify to purchase a home with a jumbo mortgage:
- Your credit score
- Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio

The requirements are more competitive for jumbo loans than they are for conforming loans since you are borrowing a higher amount of money. You also may need to get two appraisals.
