A Florida jumbo loan is a mortgage where the loan amount is over the conforming limit. Because such a large amount is being borrowed lenders often charge slightly higher interest rates for these loans. Conforming loan limit varies based on your location, and is higher in areas of the country with higher housing prices.
In most Florida locations this limit is $510,400 – some higher costs locations like Monroe County – Key West is even higher at $552,000. This standard is set by the two governmental backed agencies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Together they set the limit on the maximum value of any individual mortgage they will purchase from a lender, bank or broker. When Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae max loan limits don’t cover the full amount, it is commonly known as a “jumbo loan”
The current jumbo mortgage starts at loan amounts greater than $510,400. The average interest rates on jumbo mortgages are typically higher than for conforming mortgages because they are considered higher risk. This is because if a jumbo mortgage loan defaults, it may be harder to sell a luxury residence versus a standard priced house. High-cost properties can be more vulnerable to market highs and lows. This is one of the main reasons most banks and lenders prefer to have a higher down payment (20%) from jumbo loan seekers. However, qualified applicants can now get 95% financing in select cases.
