A Jumbo Loan — also called a non-conforming loan — is any mortgage that exceeds the FHFA’s annual conforming loan limits. Because these loans cannot be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, lenders carry the full risk, which results in stricter qualification requirements. However, jumbo loans are fully customizable and can be structured as fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages with terms ranging from 10 to 30 years.Learn more about how jumbo loans compare to conforming products at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Arizona’s premium housing markets — including East Valley communities — have seen significant home value appreciation, making jumbo financing increasingly relevant. If you’re purchasing in the East Valley, explore our dedicated location pages:
Jumbo loans offer both fixed and adjustable-rate options. A 30-year fixed provides stability and predictability. Adjustable-rate jumbo mortgages (e.g., 5/1 ARM or 7/1 ARM) start with a lower rate for a fixed period before adjusting annually — ideal for buyers who plan to sell or refinance within 5–10 years. Discuss both options with Chris Randall to find the structure that best matches your financial timeline.
The core difference between Jumbo and Conventional Loans is the loan amount. Conventional conforming loans come with the security of secondary market backing and slightly more standardized guidelines. Jumbo loans require more documentation and larger reserves but allow you to finance high-value properties that conforming loans simply can’t cover.If your purchase price is just above the conforming limit, it may also be worth considering a piggyback strategy — using a conforming first mortgage combined with a HELOC to avoid jumbo requirements.
