There are some high cost areas in the United States in places like California or the Northeast where the cost of living is also higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jumbo loans can be found in various formats including the traditional 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed and also in an adjustable rate mortgage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Jumbo Loan Rates<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The interest rates for jumbo mortgages are often higher than what you may find for a conforming mortgage size. Depending upon the lender, the rate can be up to 1% higher than a conventional loan. Today, the average interest rate for a 30 year fixed jumbo mortgage is 3%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jumbo interest rates for the 15-year fixed and the adjustable rate jumbo mortgage will be lower than what you will find for a jumbo 30 year fixed mortgage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Jumbo Mortgage Lenders<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Referenced below are just a few of the popular lenders who offer jumbo mortgages.

These lenders do not typically work directly with consumers but instead work exclusively through mortgage brokers.\u00a0 While some people believe working with a direct lender provides them with the best deal, that is not always the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many brokers can access great jumbo mortgage programs through jumbo wholesale lenders.

However, guidelines are changing rapidly in the industry and the options to secure a jumbo loan with just 5% down are becoming scarce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can expect lenders to have overlays which would require a lower DTI or much higher reserves than what you may expect from a traditional mortgage. You may also pay a rate premium when putting down just 5%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some lenders offer an 80\/15 mortgage product which means you have a 1<sup>st<\/sup> mortgage for 80% of the purchase price, a second mortgage for 15% of the purchase price, then a down payment of just 5%. Doing this would also eliminate the need for PMI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Jumbo Interest Only Mortgage Rates<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jumbo interest only mortgages require an interest only payment for the first 10 years, then the principal must be paid down over the remaining 20 years. Jumbo interest only mortgage rates are slightly higher, but the monthly payment will be much lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this example below, you can see the interest rate difference between the two jumbo rate options. However, the jumbo interest only payment is much lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jumbo mortgage rate 2.75% = total payment of $4,082<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jumbo interest only rate 3% = total interest only payment of $2,500<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this example, you would save $1,582 each month in monthly payments. Keep in mind, many lenders would require you to qualify for the principal and interest payment of $4,082.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Are there jumbo loan limits?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are jumbo loan limits that are typically set by each lender. They decide what their maximum jumbo loan amount will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Do you have to pay points for a jumbo mortgage?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In most instances you will likely need to pay points or an origination fee when financing a home with a jumbo loan.
