What is the 2024 conforming loan limit?

$766,550 for most US counties. High-cost areas (California, New York, DC) have limits up to $1,149,825. Loans above these limits are jumbo loans and require different qualification standards.

Are jumbo loan rates higher than conforming?

Historically yes, but the spread has narrowed. In 2024, jumbo rates are sometimes equal to or lower than conforming rates for well-qualified borrowers due to portfolio lending economics.

What are jumbo loan requirements?

Typically: 700+ credit score, 20%+ down payment, 6-12 months cash reserves, lower DTI (43% or below), and full income documentation. Underwriting is more conservative than conforming.
