Jumbo Loans for Orange County Home Buyers
Given Orange County’s price levels, jumbo loans — which exceed conforming loan limits — are common, especially in coastal and hillside cities.
When you need a jumbo loan
Any loan amount above the current conforming limit requires jumbo financing, which typically means stricter reserve and credit requirements.
Reserve requirements
Jumbo lenders often require six to twelve months of reserves in addition to your down payment — we’ll help you understand what a given lender will expect.
Rate differences vs. conforming loans
Jumbo rates can run slightly above or below conforming rates depending on the lender and market conditions — shopping multiple lenders matters more at this tier.
