I live in a high-priced area.
A High-Balance Mortgage Loan is defined as a conventional mortgage where the original loan amount exceeds the conforming loan limits published yearly by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), but does not exceed the loan limit for the high-cost area in which the mortgaged property is located, as specified by the FHFA. The conforming loan limit is $453,100 and the high-cost area limit is $679,650 for a 1-unit dwelling in the continental U.S. WVBK offers high balance loans from both conventional and government home loan programs.
I need a loan amount above the conforming limit.
Jumbo mortgage is a plus-size home loan weighing in at a dollar amount above what are called the conforming loan limits. A jumbo loan will typically come with more demanding requirements than a smaller, conforming mortgage. The jumbo loan threshold is $453,100 in most of the United States, though in the highest-cost areas loans have to go over $679,650 to reach jumbo territory.
