What is a Jumbo Loan?

Jumbo Loan

Definition of a jumbo loan

The amount of the Jumbo Loan, also called a non conforming loan, does not conform to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac standards. Some geographic regions, though, allow temporary conforming limits on loans higher than the typical limits. Lenders can charge additional fees while placing certain restrictions because of the higher loan amounts.
