Jumbo loan qualifications and requirements
Jumbo mortgages are home loans that exceed the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s conforming loan limits. For borrowers in much of the U.S. in 2024, this limit is $766,550, but it goes up to $1,149,825 in high-cost areas, such as Hawaii, San Francisco and New York City.
Here are the general minimum requirements for jumbo loans:
- Credit score: 680 or higher
- Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio: 45% or lower
- Down payment: 10%-15% or more
- Cash reserves: Six to 12 months’ worth of mortgage payments in savings
Some lenders might have stricter requirements. Also, with better credit and finances, you’re more likely to get a lower rate.
How to get a jumbo mortgage
- Make sure you qualify. You’ll need to clear three hurdles to qualify for a jumbo loan with the most favorable terms: a low DTI ratio, a stellar credit score and hefty reserves.
- Your application could get rejected if you have negative items on your credit report, such as missed or late payments, a foreclosure or bankruptcy. (You might be able to compensate for a lower credit score with a higher down payment, however.)
- You’ll need a higher income and a lower DTI. Lenders want to make sure that your debt burden won’t make it difficult for you to pay your mortgage, especially if you fall on hard times.
- There might be a reserve requirement: as much as 12 months’ of mortgage payments in the bank, in addition to sufficient funds to cover closing costs.
- Gather documentation. Lenders will need proof of your income, credit history and assets.
- Shop around. Finding the best deal on a jumbo loan might take a bit more effort. Broaden your search to include banks and mortgage brokers.
- Expect a bit of extra scrutiny. Jumbo lenders are taking a big risk, so they might spend more time examining your income, verifying your cash reserves and generally vetting your finances.

Pros and cons of a jumbo mortgage
Pros of jumbo loans
- Possibly lower interest rates. The jumbo rates on the market today have been unusually trending below conforming loan rates.
- Potentially more flexible terms. Many lenders keep jumbo loans rather than selling them. That allows for more leeway in the details of the loan — you might need to put down only 10 percent, for instance.
- Benefits for returning customers. Banks are big players in the jumbo market, and they often offer perks such as private banking status to jumbo borrowers.
Cons of jumbo loans
- Strict underwriting standards. Lenders impose higher guidelines for jumbo loans around down payment, credit score, cash reserves and DTI ratio.
- Somewhat limited availability. Not all lenders offer jumbo loans.
- Higher limits could take jumbos out of the equation. In high-cost markets, the threshold for a conforming loan is over $1.1 million. Because of this, you might not even need a jumbo loan.
