Jumbo Loan Interest Rates
Jumbo loans used to have higher interest rates than your conforming home loans. However, in the past few years, that gap has been closing, as investors seek opportunities to invest in alternative mortgage products than Fannie, Freddie, and Ginnie Mae offer.

Jumbo Loan Down Payments
Thankfully, the past few years we’ve seen jumbo loan down payment requirements drop from 30% of the home loan to as little as 5%. While we can’t ever control this or promise it will always be this way, we’re excited this is the trend we’re seeing.
Is the Loan Right for You?
It all depends on your collective wealth from assets, cash, investments, debt-to-income ratio, credit score, and down payment amount. If you think you are looking at a house over $510,400, this might be the right loan.
FAQ's
What is considered a jumbo loan in Oregon?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the applicable conforming loan limit for the property. Because conforming loan limits can change and may vary by location or property type, borrowers should check current limits when determining whether they need jumbo financing.
Are jumbo loans harder to qualify for than conventional mortgages?
Jumbo loans can have stricter qualification requirements because of the larger loan amount. Lenders may look for strong credit, manageable debt, sufficient income, cash reserves, and an appropriate down payment.
How much do I need to put down on a jumbo loan?
Jumbo loan down payment requirements vary by lender, loan amount, credit profile, and other financial factors. A mortgage broker can compare available jumbo programs to find options that fit your situation.
