Jumbo Loans
A jumbo loan is a mortgage for amounts above the FHFA's conforming loan limits—usually for homes priced between $900,000 and $2.5 million. These loans often carry higher interest rates, stricter approval standards (like better credit), and larger down payments compared to standard loans.
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.
