Jumbo loan questions
- What counts as a jumbo loan in Colorado?
- Any loan above the conforming loan limit for the county. The limit is set every year and is higher in some Colorado counties, so the threshold depends on where the home is.
- Are jumbo rates higher?
- Not always. Jumbo pricing depends on the lender and your profile, which is why it pays to compare.
- Can I get a jumbo loan on a second home?
- Yes. Many lenders offer jumbo loans on second homes, usually with a larger down payment.
