Jumbo Home Loans in The Bay
The Bay Area is an amazing place to live, work and play.
What is a jumbo home loan?
A jumbo home loan is a mortgage in which the loan amount is higher than the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Each year, the Federal Housing Finance Agency determines the conforming loan limits. In 2024, the conforming loan limit for most counties in the U.S. is $766,550. Homes in Bay Area counties San Francisco, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz are more expensive on average so the conforming loan limit in these locations in 2024 is $1,149,825. This means any loan above these amounts is considered a jumbo loan. Napa is nearly as high at $1,017,750. Sonoma’s conforming loan limit in 2024 is $877,450.
