Mesa Jumbo Home Loan
Sometimes the price of a home will exceed the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), especially in competitive real estate markets. That’s where a jumbo loan comes in.

What is a conforming loan limit?
Loan limits are established on a yearly basis by the FHFA and refer to the maximum dollar amount Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will buy or guarantee. Currently the conforming loan limit for a single=family home is set at $647,200 and can go as high as $970,800 in certain high cost areas. Higher loan limits are also available for 2-4 unit properties as well. To find out the loan limit in your county, you can perform a search using the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s online tool.
Are both 15-year and 30-year loans available?
Yes. You can opt for the traditional 30-year loan or choose a 15-year loan to build equity faster and take a shorter path to full homeownership.
Can I get either a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate jumbo loan?
Yes, either option is available. However, many borrowers opt for the adjustable-rate jumbo loan, which can offer lower interest rates than a fixed-rate jumbo loan.
