Jumbo vs Conforming Loans
Jumbo loans historically carried rates 0.25-0.5% higher than conforming loans, but competitive markets sometimes offer jumbo rates at or below conforming rates. The trade-off is stricter qualification requirements—higher credit scores, larger down payments, and more documentation make jumbo loans less accessible than government-backed options.
