Historically a jumbo loan has been defined as any residential mortgage with a loan amount over $406,000 but recently the FHA has been using the median income in each county to determine the jumbo amount.  more

Jumbo loans are mortgages over the conforming industry standard, currently starting at $417,000 and may be higher in some geographical areas. These loans are bought and sold on a smaller scale. They often carry a larger credit risk for the lender so the interest rate is typically higher than a conforming loan that is under the conforming loan limit.  more
