Are jumbo loan rates higher?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
Not necessarily. Jumbo rates are often comparable to or even slightly below conforming rates because lenders compete for well-qualified, higher-net-worth borrowers. Your credit, reserves, and down payment drive the rate.
Pricing varies more between lenders on jumbos, so shopping matters. We'll compare jumbo offers to find your best rate.
Not always
Jumbo rates are not always higher than conforming rates. At times they run slightly higher, and at other times they can actually be lower, since jumbo lenders compete hard for well-qualified borrowers.
Your rate depends heavily on your credit, down payment, and reserves.
Getting the best rate
Strong credit and a larger down payment help you land a competitive jumbo rate. Because pricing varies by lender, shopping around matters even more on large loans.
