Connecticut Jumbo Mortgage Loan Options for Purchase or Refinance

Jumbo Mortgage Loan Program

Home prices have shot up in some areas of Connecticut, particularly Fairfield County, to the point where borrowers need jumbo loans, or high balance loans, to purchase them. In mortgage terms, a jumbo mortgage loan refers to loans that exceed limits set by government sponsored entities like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Recently the limits have been increased so that any loans exceeding $484,351,000 are now allowed for a jumbo or high balance mortgage.

What are the Benefits of a jumbo mortgage?

First of all, the main benefit is that a borrower is not restricted to the limits set by Freddie and Fannie. Jumbo limits can go as high as $3,000,000.00 for qualified buyers.

Jumbo loans are also a convenient way to finance property without taking out 2 loans. Borrowers can finance more of the home purchase rather than tying up cash.

Qualify for a Jumbo Mortgage Loan

Competitive interest rates are available with as little as 20% down for primary and secondary homes – purchase and refinances. Jumbo Bank Buster loans are available up to $1.5 million and offer rates on par with big banks for borrowers with a minimum 700 FICO score
