The Challenges of Securing a Jumbo Loan
While jumbo loans can help you finance your dream home, they also come with stricter qualifying requirements and a more complex approval process. Many homebuyers struggle with the extensive documentation and verification needed to prove their income, assets, and creditworthiness. Others may worry about the higher down payment and cash reserve requirements that come with jumbo loans.
Additionally, shopping for a jumbo loan can be time-consuming and frustrating, as many banks and lenders have varying guidelines and pricing. Some homebuyers may feel overwhelmed by the number of options and unsure of how to compare offers and find the best deal.

Jumbo Loan FAQ
What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). In 2023, the conforming loan limit for a single-family home in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area is $726,200. Any loan amount above that threshold is considered a jumbo loan.
What are the requirements for a jumbo loan?
Jumbo loan requirements vary by lender, but generally include:
- A credit score of 700 or higher
- A debt-to-income ratio of 43% or lower
- A down payment of 10-20% or more
- Cash reserves to cover 6-12 months of mortgage payments
- Extensive documentation of income, assets, and employment
How do jumbo loan rates compare to conforming loan rates?
Historically, jumbo loan rates have been higher than conforming loan rates due to the increased risk for lenders. However, in recent years, jumbo loan rates have become more competitive and have even fallen below conforming rates at times. At Catch Mortgages, we shop around to find the most competitive jumbo loan rates for your unique financial situation.
Can I use a jumbo loan for new construction or renovation?
Yes, jumbo loans can be used to finance the purchase of a newly constructed home or to fund renovations on an existing property. However, the approval process for a construction or renovation jumbo loan may be more complex and require additional documentation, such as detailed plans, budgets, and timelines. At Catch Mortgages, we have experience with construction and renovation jumbo loans and can guide you through the process.
How long does it take to get approved for a jumbo loan?
The jumbo loan approval process can take longer than a conforming loan due to the additional documentation and verification required. However, at Catch Mortgages, our streamlined application process and expert underwriting team can help you get approved for a jumbo loan in as little as 21 days, so you can move forward with your home purchase with confidence.
