Jumbo Loans
A jumbo loan mortgage is one whose loan amount is higher than the loan limits set by the FHFA. We’re talking homes worth $900,000-$2,500,000. These loans typically come with a higher interest rate, stricter underwriting rules (including a higher credit score requirement) and require a larger down payment than your everyday home loan.
10% Minimum Down
At Clarity Home Lending, we offer a range of Jumbo mortgage products designed to cater to your specific needs. While our Jumbo loans typically require a minimum of 10% down payment, we highly recommend considering a down payment of 20% or more for an even more advantageous rate.
​
By providing a down payment of 20% or higher, you demonstrate a greater level of financial commitment, which often translates into a lower interest rate. This reduced rate can result in significant savings over the term of your loan, helping you secure a more affordable monthly payment.
