95% Jumbo loans are back in Las Vegas. This is great for home buyers who need to borrow more than the conventional or FHA loan limits permit but have a limited down payment. The current 2025 conventional loan limit in Nevada is $806,500. FHA loans are capped at $524,225 in Clark County. The limits apply to regular 1-unit properties, muti-unit properties have even higher loan limits.
The median home listing price in Las Vegas is currently near $460K. With this, most buyers will find a standard conforming or FHA loan sufficient. But for buyers purchasing in more expensive neighborhoods around Summerlin, etc, home prices can easily exceed $1m. In these cases, a jumbo loan may be required.
If you’re in the market for a luxury home in Las Vegas, now is a great time to take advantage of these jumbo loans. With a lower down payment requirement, you can purchase a higher-priced property without draining your savings. This opens up more opportunities for buyers and can help make the dream of owning a luxury home a reality.
But it’s important to note that just because jumbo loans are back, doesn’t mean they should be taken lightly. These types of loans often come with stricter requirements and may have higher interest rates compared to conventional or FHA loans.
